Array ( [sid] => 39866 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lampshade [time] => 2004-03-23 02:24:09 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The lamp is burning
Spreading its forever light

The moon is shining
Breaking the blanket of night

Forfeit the game you play
Send me home again

Lost with no motive
I'm waiting to begin

My pride has been crushed
Dignity has run out of an open door

You left me at a broken point
As I laid here, dead on the floor

Ruining what life I had left
You ran with what I had

Told everyone the lies you spread
That everything wasn't all that bad

You threw me in a corner
Lost without a cause

You like to think what you want
And forget for what it was

Listen to the echoes
Memories lost to the creeping wind

You speak of friends often
Try to live your heaven send

The lamp is fading
Light spread to ash and more

The moon has retired
And I'm lying broken on the floor

Lampshade

The lamp is burning
Spreading its forever light

The moon is shining
Breaking the blanket of night

Forfeit the game you play
Send me home again

Lost with no motive
I'm waiting to begin

My pride has been crushed
Dignity has run out of an open door

You left me at a broken point
As I laid here, dead on the floor

Ruining what life I had left
You ran with what I had

Told everyone the lies you spread
That everything wasn't all that bad

You threw me in a corner
Lost without a cause

You like to think what you want
And forget for what it was

Listen to the echoes
Memories lost to the creeping wind

You speak of friends often
Try to live your heaven send

The lamp is fading
Light spread to ash and more

The moon has retired
And I'm lying broken on the floor

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
