Shutting Down the River
“They just shut down the river; No boats at all allowed,” The captain of the ferry told A small but waiting crowd. The General Assembly, A huge U.N. event, Is hosting leaders, which includes The U.S. President. Security’s been tightened; The ferry now is stuck And as for seeing river traffic, Guess I’m out of luck....

Premium Member Shutting Off
No twilight concerto to sway not yet as zigzag street lights pound upon heavy fog clutching iced flakes on rooftops like hushed matte from night's gale pouring bitter ovules to a past in need of relief. While in her vein is a constant downpour of Bach's untenable requiem as hands pound on ivory keys, immersing in...

Shutting the Door
How could you say goodbye, To my open heart at your door? Refusing to let me in, To love you anymore. Cruelty to my heart, Weakens the walls, That give my heart strength, To keep love open to explore. This heart that cares, Loves, and obeys, Your every emotion, That sparks my life. Goodbye is so final, Slams the door shut, Tells my heart, It's not wanted anymore. Through my eyes, You...

The Art of Shutting the Hell Up
I know, I know. For some of you people, it's hard. You have no choice. Your parents didn't teach you any better. If at all. If you had any parents to speak of. And the crowd you run with is worse than you. So, in conclusion...where would you go to know. Where would you learn to grasp the courtesy,...

I’m shutting the door of my heart To give myself time to heal I’m entering into silence I'm numbing myself not to feel I’m going to stoke the fire And throw painful memories in I’m going sit and watch them burn For what you’ve done to me is sin I’m going to purge my heart of you Use the strongest lock on the door I’m...

Shutting Myself Down Emotionally
I'm shutting myself down emotionally I'll stay on the sidelines and watch you do your thing I don't wanna blow my whistle Just play like the game has no rules I'll put the scores on the billboard How many times that thing called LOVE failed me If anyone asks you about me, Just tell 'em am temporally unavailable...

Shutting Down Arby's
Tonight, oh what a night it was Nearly five hours spent At a fast food restaurant Laughing and talking our way through life Who else but you and I Could get kicked out For shutting down Arby’s So folks could go home We spoke of life Of love lost and found Of sex and dreams The devil and Holy Ghost We talked of beliefs Work and foolish...
