My WordsA Poem by Kieran James McGovernNothing’s killing me tonight, I’m sure Idle time to endure I am a vacuum, here is the last tune of the day Yet I strive to stay awake Best of broken notions rot within my head Their collective essence evanesces Purpose displaced by harrowing anger Hateful grief It consumes me And I wear it on my face All the ugly things I say And the guilt to which I’m bound I will bare everyday They all say I’m too young To be so cynical and numb I know I’ll be okay As I sit in the flames A sea of options in which to sink or swim A thousand horizons bright or dim Sail out of port, f**k my cohorts, mutinous as I am I don’t want to be All of the roads have no signs here I’ve got no breadcrumbs to drop Just appreciation to show My words Speak louder than my actions Still, you can't have them You can't have them Pretend this never happened We hurt the ones we love the most They know too much, they get too close And when they only wish to help Sometimes it makes want to yell Whether wrong, whether right I’ve got nothing left to fight ‘Cause nothing’s killing me tonight Nothing’s killing me tonight © 2010 Kieran James McGovern |
