Bye, Polar
and time rips away
all the things left behind
not even a picture
to tell who you were
and the sky cries wide
open above you
lets all the rage fall out
and coat the ground
and covers your footsteps
before you can breathe
all the things left behind
not even a picture
to tell who you were
and the sky cries wide
open above you
lets all the rage fall out
and coat the ground
and covers your footsteps
before you can breathe
and the stars you thought were falling
were only burning out
and the things you thought you knew
were fairy tales
and all of their sweet happy endings they give you
were ripped out and burned
like a pyre
rub the ashes into your skin
you can hide in the dark that way
and no one can see you
and no one can hear you
and no one can feel you
up there bigger than the world
eating their dreams
and spitting them out.

Post a CommentYou hooked me with the last seven words, "eating thier dreams and spitting them out". I could visualize that!
You've made me realize how much being bi-polar is like being in love!
*yawn* The Wal-Mart ad kind of disrupts your formatting.
john, this isn't about sadness at all... and if i don't write out the darkness, there would never be room for the light to get in. look at some of my other stuff-the joy i write isn't plasticene and obvious, but it's loud and clear if you know where to look.
Lighten up! Life is full of sadness and joy. Choose your focus.
*blush* thank you all...

Phenomenal poetry. You are so gifted.
I like what you're calling out as well as the who. Perhaps inward is the new religion.
