[bodytext] => I woke up shivering, the roof was away With rain hitting my face with clouds so gray And wild were their faces, smiling like menaces They were all pretending to be my friends Drove on a parade float like an amusement coaster ride Watching pedestrians laughing as I passed them on the side They were people that I had seen before At wakes and summer dancing floors, They were leading a path edged into the ground Anywhere And everything Coastal guards, the wisdom sings All I am, is inside a downpour on a leaf riding shores I’m just living in between the days There are windows, like prison bars they stay You can peek out in the world; you can look into the fray And see some girls selling lemonade, wondering to set the mood You could buy some and send it down the drain But lately the hospitals are excepting gentleman There’s no hair on their heads, off masks of oxygen And I was once a spectacle, I heard my tutors ridicule I hear you learn something new whenever you go to sleep Every time And any night Day noon dreams, the wisdom sings All I am, is a mention, on some passing intersection I’m just living in between the days Listening to love songs Not because you’re in love Not because you relate Because you can’t find it Because you can’t wait Not willing to live it Not wanting to risk it I turned into a figure of speech Some goal just out of my reach I’m just living in between the days [comments] => 1 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 21 [informant] => FrancisWolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
