to and fro

08/2011

                                            I never understood you

                                   I've never really understood anybody

                                      I stand alone and I will die alone 

                                       at the end of this empty walk

                                  slowly kissing the cold lips of death 

                                  while sitting in this corner of my soul 

                              allowing the darkness to wash through me 

                      you will see it in my eyes but you will never understand

                           what it's like to wither like leaves in the fall

                             to be tossed to and fro by a swirling breeze

                             taken off course, completely out of control 

                      crashing only to be crushed on the unforgiving ground

the more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you. . .

Wow... awesome write, i love it, the title, the beginning and all the way through to the end. Very nice words and lines, so nicely worded and said, and nice flow. Sad and deep write with emotion, and i love how you used the "leaves in the fall". Very nice, i love this write.
