Need-Did

Water drop Anguish Cries Out Did I need to taste your sorrow? She drowned me While screaming fixated curiosities Why I would not return Oblivious to the obvious Dilapidated wonder-wall dripping concrete uncertainty The fusion of incomprehensible dependency retarding mass exodus of heart As she cries all over again I become a ripped towelette thrown over her tattered neck of loneliness, rushing into enigmatic corazon I embrace familiar barrier blocking out ultraviolet massacres speaking subdued tongues, another floating perdition needing a new painting against recycled canvas Sweet dreams made of nothing Did I need to taste the desolate madrigal that I see running towards conundrum's savior, still ready to love me tomorrow? This heart is full. I remove her weeping moon searching for crescent bounds, riding precipitous eclipse My ears lie against vertigo's throat of irregularities As she begs for the liar to return home Because I always mattered in the end Allegedly © Drake J.

Why does everyone have to feel such pain, why can't life caress the deep pain and sorrow and make the world beautiful once again! Such a poignant poem Drake! Lizzie
