I'm a machine but I'm a funny color.

I was just influenced by a lost best friend.

If I could get rid of all these memories that etch themselves into my eyes

If I could be taken away by more than words or numbers

Maybe this little boy would choose to stay

The blue eyes could shine again

When the whistle of the train goes off I'll let loose a battle cry

Because the stretch of land I've run into isn't very long at all

And if you choose I'll walk along it with you

Despite my accusations

How many times do I walk past a white face with a blank mind, no memory to spare

If this warrior soon comes on home will he bring a song and sing it to me

With kid lights and playing cards I reside into the dark

There I can see the lost boys lonely eyes

Step by step I get closer to the end, my footsteps march 1 2 3

I withstand the curents of the wind so possibly just maybe

We'll have a secret teaparty

You'll eat the triscuits

And I'll drink the tea..

Author's Note

I know it's definitely not my best writing. Most of my writing comes from writing lyrics that go to my piano.

Well, gush, it's still V.E.R.Y. good. Really. I'm new here and I took a 'walking' tour around several days ago and was.. ok, call me whatever you want, but I WAS disappointed by the works I read. But yours.. I have only read this poem and half of the Chapter 13 (not my cup of coffee, but I like the style), but I really enjoyed it so far. Thanks for that. Really.

Your poetry has changed, like a lot. I don't know how to describe it. It's a good change, and I really like it. I think you use more images now. I need to go back and read some of your old work to compare it. It's still Zoe, but it's more descriptive. Images have always been a forte for you, though they just seem different than what they used to be. Stronger, more detailed, more creative.
Anywho,
I actually thought it was very well written and no, I wouldn't call it your best, but I'd rank it higher than what you're probably giving it.
Keep the poems coming! :)

Zoe stop being so talented.
