Array ( [sid] => 165664 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ~Attempt~ [time] => 2011-04-04 10:45:30 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I whispered into the air at midnight
and sang the praises of you.
Looking past the mean spirit over the years
always trying to consistantly love you.

Often times day-dreaming, speed thinking
of how it all could have been.
If for one moment you would attempt
to give up the nasty and just be a person.

I know deep within my heart
that things are just as they seem.
Years have flown by, lots of tears cried
tears falling into a constant wild river stream.

I could say it doesn't matter
that would be a lie, I think there is enough of that.
So maybe for now, I will just think
and say you have failed the attempt.......

( it is very sad when a person just cannot escape their cycle of abuse and then spends a life time inflicting it on others)
I will not continue on this path anymore! [comments] => 3 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 63 [informant] => shelby [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => hbadday )

A potent and emotive write, very deep. Really well penned. "I could say it doesn't matter, that would be a lie..." A little gem, inked with a bit of fire. Great work. tfs
