Array ( [sid] => 123365 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I'm still waiting to hear ''jump''. I'll know from how high. [time] => 2006-07-18 10:32:29 [hometext] => I wrote this as a song about a month ago, but still applies, the metaphors become pretty obvious later. please comment, i'll return the favor to anyone who does. [bodytext] => Wrap your arms around my waist,
Just as I'm about to jump

Grab my hand
Before hell does,
And let me fall into your arms

Know my secrets
Tell me yours

Break and enter in my mind,
I promise charges won't be pressed
But you'll confess
I'll charge a price
For every door you open wide

Just so sick of going home,
Knowing that i'm still alone..

I'll call you air
As i'm drowning slowly,
Because air is what i lack

You must be sight,
Since i'm going blind
You'd be my light,
But no one ever turned you on,
So I'm left to find myself in the dark..

Searching through blurred eyes,
A shelter to hide in,
The right cave,
But then i realize without you in it,
Is another foot into my grave

Don't wait for me to shatter,
Catch me when I'm about to break

Know my secrets...
Tell me yours....

Kiss my soul
And warm my heart,
Be the lifeguard that saved me,
Wrapped all nice,
Be my present,
Under the dying christmas tree

Just so sick of going home...
Knowing that i'm still alone...

A star upon a fatal night,
Shine only for my desperate eyes,
Flash of red,
In a sea of black
Answer, please, my fading cries

I'll call you air,
As I"m drowning slowly,
Because air is what i lack

Keep me close
don't let me go,
For you don't know how far I'll stray,
Keep me close
don't let me go,
Or I might not live another day...

Just so sick of going home
Knowing that i'm still alone...

Steal the password to my thoughts,
I'll leave it out for you to see,
Read them all
Help me live
It's up to you, not me.

Don't wait for me to shatter,
Catch me when you know i'll break

Don't close your eyes,
See my scars,
Yeah, they don't blend in,
But no more makeup
You're more natural,
Only you'll smooth out my skin.

Burnt out stars,
They fall in ashes,
Don't let me become one of them...
It's too late, you say?
i know..
Damned to hell i am.

I'm still waiting to hear ''jump''. I'll know from how high.

I liked this one, it was an interesting read, some unusual metaphors, and very unusual ways of phrasing them, you have a style all of your own... good write!

Definitely needs to be in a category for "dark love" poetry. Its a painfully emotional read, in its honesty and intent. I'm sure it will sound fantastic wrapped around a killer bass line and a fervent drum solo!

" A star upon a fatal night,

Flash of red,
