Array ( [sid] => 74564 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Don't take these things from me [time] => 2004-12-06 00:21:16 [hometext] => The poem kind of speaks for itself. I hope you like it. Please comment. :-) [bodytext] => Covered in dust,
I lay here but I must
Break these chains and swing free

On a colder night I'd die
And in a longer fight I'd lie
Along the ocean's edge
Waiting for my time

Don't take these things from me
Leave me here, just let me be
Let me breathe the air I've been without
The familiar sting is what it's about

Pain I've gone without
And loneliness with doubt
But leaving you alone
Would be the last thing I'd condone

Don't take these things from me
Your essence lingers, let it be
And sting me with your one last breath
Rape me with the one that's left
But sing it now and you will see

I'll be here for you
I loved you for the last time
But you didn't notice me

Can't wait up for you
Can't keep looking at my own reflection
Nothing's left for you
Can't give up my one affection

I saw you yesturday
A beautiful person walking away
And though I can't feel your return
You're coming back for me

Don't take these things from me
Just hold up and we can see
What you've been missing
And what I've come to be [comments] => 0 [counter] => 189 [topic] => 22 [informant] => Dion [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
Don't take these things from me

Covered in dust,
I lay here but I must
Break these chains and swing free

On a colder night I'd die
And in a longer fight I'd lie
Along the ocean's edge
Waiting for my time

Don't take these things from me
Leave me here, just let me be
Let me breathe the air I've been without
The familiar sting is what it's about

Pain I've gone without
And loneliness with doubt
But leaving you alone
Would be the last thing I'd condone

Don't take these things from me
Your essence lingers, let it be
And sting me with your one last breath
Rape me with the one that's left
But sing it now and you will see

I'll be here for you
I loved you for the last time
But you didn't notice me

Can't wait up for you
Can't keep looking at my own reflection
Nothing's left for you
Can't give up my one affection

I saw you yesturday
A beautiful person walking away
And though I can't feel your return
You're coming back for me

Don't take these things from me
Just hold up and we can see
What you've been missing
And what I've come to be
