The Man In Black

POEM " THE MAN IN BLACK " by martin gedge I've lost in love and lived in pain I've paid the cost that shall remain to rule myself outside the game and have it pass me by for all I seek has played my mind to cut so deep that every time a foolish soul who cannot find the willingness to try for hard of hearts you made me so this thick of skin that I now know to ever let my feelings show would surely be a chore for here inside a vacant lot you took the everything I got and left the rest to spoil and rot this shipwreck on the shore and in this light that I have found two steps to walk on solid ground no ties or lies to wrap around the lessens that I learn I have the fuel to feed the fire and if the need a strong desire to dip the wick and clip the wire and watch the buildings burn not once but down and driven out I think of what it's all about to clear my way from all this clout a heart that's made of stone I face the crowd and dare not hide of all the fear I feel inside to never bend or break my stride this man that walks alone... by martin gedge©
