Poem
Another day down, another day to go. I'm so sorry I let you down, like so many times before. It wasn't supposed to happen, not like this, you're not supposed to be, the one who I miss. The one I can't see, tell me what's it for? This place where they put me, I pace back and forth. I can't sit still, my mind wanders free. It's enough to drive me crazy, the thoughts of you and me. It's a bitter pill to swallow, I'm hollow but filled with sorrow. And I can't wait for the day to become tomorrow. Tomorrow passes by, another day to go. Can somebody tell me why time moves so slow? I can't help but think, it's so hard to understand. How many more mistakes, before I form a plan? Before I change my mind and open up my eyes. Before I fall in, to the pit of my own demise. Not so long ago, I had it figured out. Then the ground opened up from below, a hole full of doubt. I fell so fast, the hole so deep. Like a bottomless pit, that brought me to my knees. So what to do now? Maybe I should pray. But I can't think not of a single, word that I should say. Now I'm on the brink, the edge of my own mind. I find it hard to think, I lose track of time. Searching for the words that bring me back to u, there's nothing I wouldn't say, there's nothing I wouldn't do. So as I wait for tomorrow to now become today, this place where they put me is where I have to stay. So take me away from this place. Anywhere else but here wouldn't be such a waste. I'm trapped in a cell, my life in a cage, living in hell, my mind's full of rage. Now there's nowhere to go, there's nothing to see. There's nothing to show, whys this have to be me? Why did this happen? I guess I should've thought. I guess I never figured that I'd ever get caught. But here I sit, I'm all alone, this concrete jungle is now my home. So picture my pain and picture my tears. I'm wasting away, year after year. My life of regret, just picture my sorrow. Go ahead and take today, just give me tomorrow. As the picture fades, oh what a waste. And it's the pictures that we took that I can never replace. So picture me there, as if right next to you, while I'm paying for the crimes that I can never undo. I can picture your smile, I can see your face. I leave this place for awhile, you're my way to escape. Thinking of you, takes me away. And the place where I go is where I'd like to stay. Tho inside my mind, I know where I'm at. My body left behind, stuck in this trap. Paying my debt as my time draws near. Just please don't forget, as you picture me here.
