Mournful Living

Can you clean it up

So I can start all over

Again

Not an uncommon occurrence

but one we all like to put off

Mournful living

 

Me teeth hurt

and this pencil isn't as good as the other

Can you start again?

You can't turn back time

A fish has the memory span of a few seconds

(they can turn back time)

The floor boards are straining

I think something died

 

Snap the thin strings on the guitar

Snap the noise

(that would be mournful living)

I think something died

(I think it was you

I think I shot you)

 

Wring out the cloth

Close your eyes

So you don't have to look

(at pictures of dead people)

Mournful Living

I think something died

I think it was me.

I really like good gothic poetry (or lyrics, because this looks like a song) just as much as I hate emo. You have quite a talent for wringing a lot of strong images out of that poem of yours and I will have to look for more of your work. Keep them coming!
