[hometext] => things like this are the cause of my previous poem
[bodytext] => The fire is dim, but its still burning The insanity only covers the wonder in his eyes The path is snowy, but still accessible As he reaches for heaven, and he's talking to god His lips part and he bellows a slurred sentence His nerves jerk, he knocks the coffee off the nightstand The mug shatters on the floor His head is bandaged, but he's reconisable He might be paralyzed but not enough to stop his heart From beating And something else is moving Maybe not his legs, but the glitter in his eyes When he see's his family and freinds Thier only black and white Nothing phases him, anymore Life, death, or anything in between His eyes roll back The glitter dissapears He sinks into the hospitol bed And from his throat comes one last groan Soon to fade, But never to vanish [comments] => 2 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 32 [informant] => imaginary [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
