![]() I'm No DancerA Poem by Megan![]() this poem was inspired by the song "While Sailing" by The Lovely Sparrows. Hope you guys like it.![]() I'm drinking black coffee that's staining my teeth While the fire is burning on ever so quietly And the fog is rolling in from another rainy night Flicking the power off and on, playing with my light Well I'm longing for a place that does not exist And a home I never thought I'd miss But I can't find that place again Maybe it has something to do with my lost innocence This fuzzy thought that's floating in my head Playing with the smoke from my cigarette While I fumble around with the life I've got left Trying to fix things that are no longer here That faded as time danced away this year But I swear I'm no dancer my dear So I find it quite easy to fall over my feet Tripping all over the rolling little beat That the universe seems to keep playing to me I promise you all, a poet I am not Just trying to get down all these pointless little thoughts Making room for the things I need to be thinking Instead of longing for answers I wont ever see And failure keeps dogging my heels While death breathes down my neck with his close friend fear Along with stupid little feelings I can't help but feel I'm keeping track of the days that keep fading Wishing I could say the words I've kept keeping Ever so sweetly blending together In a memory I wont ever remember Cause before I know it I'll be dusty bones Buried in my 6 foot grave all alone And they wont know the mistakes that I've made They'll just see the pretty little name That's been etched into my pretty little gravestone As my stele whispers a soft goodbye and hello
