Array ( [sid] => 81958 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Sight So Lucid [time] => 2005-01-29 03:25:29 [hometext] => [bodytext] => My eyes drool and my face hurts from all this sorrow
It tastes like metal in my mouth right now but I know it’ll all be over tomorrow
I pulled the trigger but I smelled no smoke and I heard no sound
And when I looked about there was no hollow shell on the ground

Beethoven performing for Elise at the twilight of dawn
I cleared the dials and sat up with a yawn
I am always quite lonely and I really want an excuse to end it all
But every now and then I see God’s incredible handwriting on the wall

Jesus bought me with a price—they say that’s what He died for
But I know that He only did it so I would become His whore
I never loved God and I never cared if my name was on heaven’s list
So I bled Jesus out of me by opening up my weeping wrists

Beethoven performing for Elise at the twilight of dawn
I cleared the dials and sat up with a yawn
Sometimes the sky is blank, so I dig in the earth in search of the light
And I’m still in a dream when I wake up in the middle of the night

I swallowed the big pills and I swallowed the little ones too
Right now I would eat a bomb just to see what it would do
If I do not succeed with this, I will just try it again
But no matter what, I will write no note even though I die holding a pen

Beethoven performing for Elise at the twilight of dawn
I cleared the dials and sat up with a yawn
Only this time I still heard Beethoven’s majestic hand gliding the keys
When I examined the machine, I saw something that made hell freeze
Though the music did play, the cord was dead and trailing off to nowhere like the great Nile
And my love, that’s when I understood that I had been dead the whole while [comments] => 5 [counter] => 362 [topic] => 36 [informant] => kratur [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )
A Sight So Lucid

Kratur that was a very intense write. I liked it.
Especially the lines:"Sometimes the sky is blank, so I dig in the earth in search of the light" Loved that. Much peace to you, Laura

You're a talented writer. Great images, great description, you express yourself very fluidly.

My eyes drool and my face hurts from all this sorrow

I love, love, love this line.

But I know that He only did it so I would become His whore

I like this line too. It made me laugh. You seem to have some issues with Christianity, which isn't a bad thing. I've noticed this come up in other poems of yours.

Once again, great poem.

Be True,
zenmind
