Nothing Remains

Nothing Remains

A Chapter by Octob3r Star


Nothing Remains

Tired of dancing with shadows,
Burned by men who’s eyes, show fire,
I’m tired of God, who disallows,
My anger, this fed-desire.

Waiting for you to come back,
No peace, no beer, just pain,
This s**t, remembered, the hope I lack,
Keeping it in, cradled in vain.

I can’t forgive you, 
But I can still love you,
Couldn’t just kiss you,
Won’t just be with you,
Outside…

Your tired of dancing with shadows, I know.
Burned by men who’s eyes, show fire,
Tired of God, who disallows,
Your anger, that fed-desire.

You can’t forgive me,
But you can still love me,
Couldn't just kiss me,
Won’t just be with me,
Outside…

Still, waiting for me to come back,
With no peace, no beer, just pain,
Reminders, how much I lack,
Keeping it in, cradled in vain.
Holding what’s broken, nothing remains.
Mumbled; soft-spoken, "Nothing remains."

It is good to see spoken word artists on here. So much different than normal poetry. I like your style this is the second one I have read. Still at work so hard to really review between looking over my shoulder.

Great style and great lyrics, nicely done!

Wow...having a hard time finding words...powerful poetry here meant to be heard. Each one of us often goes "dancing with shadows" and finds that meaning has disappeared out of our lives.

Your writing makes me want to cry. It's so beautifully deep, and it really sinks into the reader's soul... I loved it.
