Sickly sweet with a pale cast
Cold heart inside of a freezing hand
There's nothing else worth staying for

I had it, in my mind
All planned out and my life was set
Then it died, the moment I woke up
And i'm back to where you said I would be

24 hours behind the clock that
Doesn't exist because I don't want it to
I am just a shadow of a shadow
That shadow ran away

False presets make me smile
The smile that you faded away
Teeth cracked when I went to speak up
And I just faded away

Standing in a corner
Facing an invisble wall
Watch as the soul runs for sweet life
To salvation of the rotting dirt

Lay me down so I don't have to face you
Listen closely as my ears fall off
My tale is a tail of retail
That was sold to sell my soul away

No sense is just what you need
To understand the misery in feet
Used and torn to take you to and from
Grave to grave of your mother's charms

And you know it
Because I said it
All alone and then you had it
Time to go with the world that held it
Held the dirt for the world to have ... [comments] => 3 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 73 [informant] => Desolated_Denial [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )
Nothing with a pretty name

Dear D_D, I didn't quite understand what is abstract in your poem... Random thoughts and images, stream of your conscious, but what's the point?

Don't listen to that.
That's what abstract is about.
I like it, kudos =)

very unique and well written...
i loved your use of word play in the majority
of the lines...but i especially liked the
symbolism in the stanza:

No sense is just what you need
to understand the misery in feet
used and torn to take you to and from
grave to grave of your mother's charms

i'm not exactly sure of it's exact meaning...
a mother's influence on character maybe?
nonetheless it's very clever

keep writing!!
