Shock

Shock

A Poem by James Wells

At some point my mind stopped
And thoughts of all the cigarettes
Lined up with all of our regrets
Ceased to produce a single drop.
I remember when I noticed you
Mind miles away, on a distant moon
One I could not discover soon 
Searching for what I believed was true.

Question me, because I'm confused.
Shock my pulse into beating once again. 
Show me the answer, show me the end. 

At some point I begin to wonder
How the world turned cold 
When our hearts unfold. 
To the beat of softly crashing thunder. 
I remember when the bridge collapsed
Our master plan began to snap
Careful,quiet take out the map. 
Paint new lines to fill the ones I lack.

Question me, because I'm confused.
Shock my pulse into beating once again. 
Show me the answer, show me the end. 

I wrote you a letter, once upon a time. 
Dotted all the T's, crossed all the I's.
The mirror caught some wandering eye. 
I think heaven is here, and I want to try. 
The future stays stuck in my mind. 
A fleeting thought, the perfect crime. 
With an ever hungering alibi. 
I think hell has passed, so don't you cry.

If I questioned you, what would it do?
But lead me here, back to my shoes.
So shock my pulse into beating once again.
Show me the answer, show me the end.
Question me, I'm so confused. 
I don't want to win, and I don't want to lose.
So shock my pulse into beating once again.
Show me the answer, show me the end.

I'm just looking to keep people entertained. It's important to me that I do as much as I can to give hope to the hopeless. We need it the most. But I also do say some comedic things occasionally, b.. more..
