[hometext] => For the lost and abused whom we admire
[bodytext] => Fate takes a twist into this spinning catalyst Of what’s deserved and what’s dismissed When the world wrongs and sinner’s songs are Rehearsed and dispersed bitterly along And for some reason we just stay in melody Deny what we see and cross out the negative For something promised free But where are my flawed heroes? The ones who I admire So blinded by the smokes To notice they’re walking on a fire? What it means to look up is two different things Through sufferings of souls spent mustering An ounce of respect on a pivotal concept Of wandering through life on a tight rope lacking The net And I see those vodka bottles dusting like trophies That’s fine for a gold that weaker men aspire But you know what’s true That’s not you No, no, no that’s not you No, I see the shine of your devilish grin The happiness within, and the places we’ve been And please keep those eyes glimmering I’ve been discovering they’re what’s keeping me coming back Again If you need a boost, I’d choose to look at your face Because I know it well, it’s a warm place And if you grace me with that, I’ll be glad to add No plants worth a life I’ve admired to trace No drug is too powerful, no obstacle too sound To let the person I know stop kicking around Sure it’s been clowned, nothings funnier still Then to fill all the love we’ve been willing to spill And nothing is free, nothing’s easy, you don’t have to take it from me But I’d not know where to go, without you beside me to grow My flawed hero The one I admire So blinded by the smokes To notice you’re walking on a fire [comments] => 2 [counter] => 262 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Franciswolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )
