[hometext] => I am so overshadowed by what lies just beyond in the sand
[bodytext] => It must be the way I turn the thoughts inside my head that brings about this lonely dread tuned upon the breast of fate turning the curses of my speech a simple voice so quiet, so plain no boldness, no strength mud stained clothes drowning just beneath what is this hill I cannot breach so inside barreling through this gun splinters in these little hands waiting for someone Truly, you do not believe I shall last beyond these few meek and meager moments where my eyes, barely fixed upon the sunlight dress the evening with its shade somewhere down below I can feel the impressions upon my toes so, what if I were to let go? would my everything drown with me? I cannot be the glue of the world for my pieces are shattered into many What is broken may someday be repaired but upon the grasses as I lay I find it hard to see the way The breath of death is not so pleasant as the life giving intake for one is the beginning and the other the end What choice do I have, if not to let go? crashing into this forgotten misfortune it seems to find me each time upon its departure Perhaps I could stand here a moment and be saved but alas I am drowning.. swimming to my grave even as my feet firmly press upon this earth my eyes swim in darkness my mind in the rivers swamped so with death I am so overshadowed by what lies just beyond in the sand that my body sinks swiftly so weighted my life I am drowning sinking in the shallow end [comments] => 1 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 73 [informant] => Tot [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )
