[bodytext] => Under the clear cold stars Among the gray concrete I walk to nowhere, it’s so far Searching as the city sleeps Secluded in a lonely world Of coldness, my shadow and me Watch as misty breath unfurls As I shiver against the icy breeze My hands in my pockets Head down against the wind Watching my shadow as I walk My only real true friend No one knows who I really am And so I must pretend And I’ll walk this concrete road Until my very end People look into my eyes as I smile They say “you‘re such a mystery” But if they saw me one lonely night It wouldn’t be so hard to see City lights twinkle in front of me As I sit on a frosty rise And finally Behind the scenes I take off my disguise So I walk this concrete road Breaking through the city smoke And don’t forget the “mysterious” me Gone forever as the city sleeps [comments] => 1 [counter] => 232 [topic] => 71 [informant] => BlackFire9786 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => secrets )
