And I Fade Away
A million scenes fall to my screen, my eyes blur and I loose my sight
The knott that lingers in my trhoat stiffins and I loose my breath
Her tone shatters my youth, I crawl in shame yet I look not her way
Out of pain many can sing, and all I do is hold still and weep inside
Beyond her judgement I hide, for she stabbs my heart with words
Her spoken speech yelles at me and again I cry
A firm tone towards those whom to her express love
She drops my vessel of life and I scream in pain
For the love begins to leak
A walking second took me by surprise
For she once wanted to be my baby, and now she roleplays my father
Am I to be perfect? Never for we all have faults
I stand to be a poet, a romantic speaker, I melt the flowers as I near
I can hear them speak of old beauty, and it too faded just like that
Its the touch of a womans hand that soothes me completely from head to toe
Her scent that awakes in me the adventure I preach about
Cut the chain so that I may run in fantasy
Yet don't give me rope to fall face first when its all fake... yes no hope
I hear the clicking of teeth and they chew in agony
I loose my feel, I fade away
-your poet always
