[hometext] => about trying to reach the top, but falling instead
[bodytext] => A mountain climber: I dare to play with my vehicle,
Anything to get to my paradise at the clouds, I scrape my skin, and I bleed, And I would cease if only I could see that you believed But as days came and days went, I had no choice but to patiently wait But the life in the sky was slow, and time seemed to delay, I climbed while looking back waiting for you to tug at my arm But you never tried to stop me, My wrist was a weapon only your good will could disarm But I suppose that you must have known that I could not change As I felt the rough gust of wind and dirt I climbed and I climbed up, and my guts twisted but I did not stop I assumed it was another danger with which to flirt I climbed with my hands, and I climbed with my knees But I never could find that peak, The peak that my ribs told me I had to seek I know that I was wrong now, to leave, A mountain climber: all I could do was reach a plateau But you and I both know that I wanted much more And then when I felt that there was nothing left I opened my fists, and I let go Watched from outside as my body fell flimsily on the bathroom floor [comments] => 0 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 13 [informant] => johndough111 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
