Array ( [sid] => 105578 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => no retreat [time] => 2005-09-12 21:05:56 [hometext] => [bodytext] => your fake smiles and broken lies
pathetically retracing long gone ties
you try and look me in the face
desperately struggling to find your place

friends and lovers its all the same
there's no way out of this cruel game
what are you thinking? words mean ****
we're searching for a light, but the lamps no longer lit

try and survive, in this world your ******
when the bat was swung, few people ducked
listen to their word, sway to this beat
but once your in there is no retreat

acting is easy, you dont have to feel
shake hands to find a broken deal
words fall meaningless onto the tear-soaked ground
searching for something that cant be found

try and survive in this world your ******
when the bat was swung, few people ducked
listen to their words, sway to this beat
but once your in there is no retreat

everyone's selfish,no such thing as a friend
all the lies will never end
defeated wishes and shattered dreams
the world around us, tearing at the seams

try and survive, in this world your ******

listen to their words, sway to this beat
but once your in there is no retreat

once your in there is no retreat

Wow..such a powerful piece. Great poetry comes from experience, and I can tell that this has alot of meaning for you. Alot of stuff that is hidden in those words, only to be recognized by the one or ones responsible for your reason to write this. There is no "beating around the bush" in this one...really good job!!

"words fall meaningless onto the tear-soaked ground

This line is my favorite-its so beautifully descriptive.
I loved this poem. It really touched me. The world can beat you down and its hard to ever trust anyone, but because of that- you have created something so beautiful. your words come together in such a way that i believe anyone who reads this can feel what your feeling, if they haven't already felt it.
