GOING DOWN
Thursday, 28. February 2008, 05:06:59
down down down going so far down
the rungs on the ladder loosed my grip
and like Alice in Wonderland I fall
further to the ground
spiralling I am overwhelmed unable
to grasp for leverage unable to gasp
for air and sunlight looks so far away
and all the while the cheshire cat
smiles not caring which way I fall
for it matters not which way I go
for there is only one way down and
only one means of escape but am I
late and will the Queen of Hearts give
reprieve or will the joker mock my
going down and trample upon my
golden crown?

and you look around nothing.. noone is there
you think could anyone care?
it is yourself that is keeping you from seeing,
it is your self that is killing your well being,
it is you whom chokes the very life from your grasp,
it is you that refuses to ask,
how do i know?
i died many years ago,
i allowed my eyes to cover my soul..
dam those who left me here,
but they will never see a tear!
they will never know what they have done to me!
they will never know they have killed who i was meant to be,
ill be strong! ill show them all!
look the same, play the game..
they wont get me!!!!
yeah they wont get to me...
cuz i got to me

{i want to share this with you please}
when i walk by
you will always see me smile
but in my eyes
there is a secreat that lies...
the key to my soul
that i must hold
that must never be told
forgive me i cannot bear
my mind to share
what my soul holds so deep
so far down my heart cannot even keep
my heart tried..
but failed the first time i cried
and fell to my knees
thats where it must be..
in order to preserve the rest of me...
i promised to always blink
and through your eyes i can make you think...
the one purpose i have always wanted to do
im fine!..let me be here for you.

when a poet's tear drops,it's like a dive of a seagull into the Ocean.You know he/she will come up not empty handed!
You give the word "romance" a whole new meaning! thks:)

when a poet's tear drops
tis like a dive of a seagull into the ocean
definitly could use those lines....can I steal them again and work them? between you and destined not bad....
destined
I really love these lines
but failed the first time i cried
and fell to my knees
those lines are so full of emotion and impact and one holds their breath reading them as they soak those heartaching words where one recognises that one has also been there....

and I don't see any stealing here!
all authentic and they will never be used by me!
