Where Feelings Hide

This love for you has slowly died down My mind learned to hide, but it’s always found This love for you has slowly gone astray My mind turned to follow, but then walked away Through an open water deeply locked I lay lifeless on this water floor Hoping and wishing for something more The lights they flicker and shadows bend My nights get sicker as we near the end Rain drops splatter and ripple on the liquid moon The melting sky calls upon me tonight I know responsibilities will be here soon This will change who I am, so that’s alright Once when I was young I used to dream the moon stole the ocean floor And that everything on Earth sank into it’s own dying core This choice is for the new life almost here And there’s been thousands of days in this year So I think I’ll head for the horizon and tread to the shore Needing to flee the sea and focus on me and nothing more So I offer these numb feelings to the swaying tide Ocean forever hide me where feelings can hide Wherever it is that feelings hide I don’t care how, just take me to that same core These feelings, now I can’t feel them anymore And they’re left behind with nothing but words

Nice poem Dylan. Write one with all verses just five lines. Rhyme line 1 with 2 and line 3 with 4. Make the 5 th line in verse 1 and 2 rhyme and line 5 in verse 3 and 4 rhyme. I made this up about a year ago and I really like it. Doesn't have a name.
