Josh Kirkwood Poet Lyric

The Unknown Poem

Whether or not you fall on your own face
cannot erase what
you thought was the biggest waste
of all you've got
to now replace
and what you're without
is the love you made
with me

What you've chosen
to belong in
didn't bring back all your prose;
petals of flowers to line your doors
As anyone can see you've tripped the line
Surrender, lest you be decieved
by your design
Undo the anchor from yourself
and face the waves of your regressions

Joann Grisetti October 9, 2012 at 9:59 AM I got more out of this reading the second time, especially with the comments below. I am sorry your love is not returned. But pain makes great poems. Emotions exposed and left to absorb the reader. thanks.

Justin Bordner October 4, 2012 at 12:26 PM I respect the cathartic element to this write Josh - sometimes it is necessary to surrender our hypocrisy to gain the higher truth, the higher strength - the last two lines contain very mature & therapeutic metaphors - J.A.B. % Josh Kirkwood October 4, 2012 at 4:36 PM thanks justin. i included this in my arsenal because of those lines, i think. you can imagine, the struggle of coordinating lyrics with sound. well, this was to someone i loved, who didn't think i did. sh*t. truth be told, 15 yrs later, i still do. will be checking ur stuff out as soon as i get off cloud Aechtner ...haha. that dude is A~W~S~U~M.
