are eating at my brain
I know you're hungry for those words
that make you go insane
My memory isn't what it was
or how it ought to be
So take the other parts I have
and leave my mind for me

I've really nothing here for you
cos what is left is mine
They've taken all the vital parts
and wrapped them up in twine
Someday they say I'll get them back
but I know that's a lie
'til then I'll just stay in this jar
cos otherwise I'll die

The cold that sets inside my thoughts
turns numb cos I can't speak
I'd like to go out for a walk
but I have got no feet
besides the fact I have no legs
and still I have no head
So therefore I can only wait
'til they pronounce me dead [comments] => 7 [counter] => 202 [topic] => 13 [informant] => deadclown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Very nice, somehow I was expecting something different... but I really enjoyed whta I got! It reminded me of that film where the guy falls in love with the brain in a jar... for obvious reasons... it's a little darker than that though!!! Awesome, kudos,

Middle stanza was okay, I wasnt to fond on the rest. It is all a little too angsty. No problem though. Alot of my earlier stuff was much worse than this. Kudos buddy.
