Past TenseA Poem by ewest1220Listen now to my bleated pleaPast Tense By: Ethan West Listen now to my bleated plea Abandon all with little to give Tarry not and follow me Follow me for I want to live To live and to fall With each step that I take To be in life's hall While the spirits awake To never give in To blackening rain Of torturous sin And tremendous pain To make my mistakes And see my heart rising To see how earth quakes At my bitter despising For now I am lost And lost now within All of life's cost Like a knife on my skin I leap from the blade For you followed me here To this place in the shade To a room I hold dear And with subtle silence I leave you this rhyme To leave in past tense And become lost to time © 2012 ewest1220Author's Note
