A 1000 miles

Instant inspiration from the song 'A thousand miles' by vanessa carlton.

 

The faces are familiar

Those signs, they never change

Staring deep in my coffee mug

Wishing things were the same again

 

If I could spin this wheel of time

I’d go back so many days

Take back my words

Take out my time

Look deep in your eyes and say

 

You can need me anytime

You can want me anywhere

Baby, I’d walk a 1000 miles

Baby, I will be there

On burning sands or morning dew

No matter if I get bruises too

You know I’d walk a 1000 miles

To be there with you

 

The night has spread its wings

The sun has gone to bed

The hazy sparks from the past

Are flying everywhere

 

Dazzled as I may

I recognize the tune

You sang to me a love melody

In that warm summer june

 

Now that times have come to pass

I sit alone with my dreams

Cradling that flickering hope

Which is still unseen

 

And I need you all the time

And I want you every where

Baby, I’ll walk a 1000 miles

Be sure that I’ll be there

On burning sands or morning dew

No matter if I get bruises too

You know I’d walk a 1000 miles

Just to be with you

I was thinking of that song the whole time I was reading it :P

the only thing I'd change is the first stanza:

The faces are familiar
Those signs they never change
Staring deep in my coffee mug
I want things to be same again

should be:

The faces are familiar,
Those signs, they never change.
Staring deep into my coffee mug,
I want things to be the same again.

my only suggestion :P

My Dear Writing Friend,
A powerful poem filled with emotion. After reading this vibrant word painting I had this thought. I hope that this other soul will walk 500 miles back towards you and your two souls will become fused.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear

There are times in our life when we would like to turn back the hands of time and makes things right. Change what we didn't see or know in that moment when we spoke certain words or walked away from a person, but alas we can't change what has already been done no matter hard we try. This poem speaks clearly of those moments in time and and this whole poem is done well in words and in style

I like this.. very touching and sweet.

[Blue Moon Ice Cream]

Yes, it seems a little sloppy here and there. I LOVE the song that inspired you, though. :)
"Dazzled as I may
I recognize the tune" This doesn't make sense. You need to add 'be' to the end of that first line.
Also, writing 'thousand' as '1000' seems amateurish to me.
Very sweet poem, though.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I almost thought this was a song. Great write!
