      From: goldarachel@gmail.com              i guess i messed up pretty bad.              one-winged dove              like being nailed        to a dying tree       trapped in my life        of nothingness       painful and insufferable        as a maddening        deafening silence              sirens scream,       the ambulances       and motorcycles roar,       neighbors endlessly stomp       and drag furniture        across a wooden floor              the empty chambers        of my mind       draped with cobwebs        hanging on the rotted vine       the trees are barren       the soil is cold       could it be       that i am growing old?              no lover did come,       no man come to save       i’ll wither away        unremarkably        to my anonymous        unmarked grave.       no sons did i bear,        no daughters to raise       no love to pass on,        the end of my name              i don’t even want        to rest in the earth       i never found peace here,        no refuge, no hearth       so burn me to ashes,        and throw me away       while gaia keeps churning,        and turning each day              a life truly wasted,        a sorrowful soul       no one would dare join me,        come make me whole       did i dare cry too hard,        did suffer too much fright       did i bear the unbearable        kingdom of the night              so laugh on, young children       laugh lightly like the flowers       and count not the heavy        weight of the hours       some can never forget       some will never let go       the promise was broken       this womb will never glow              we stand up strong,        and say never again       but to this fight        most defeating,        i’ll never lend my hand.       just leave me alone,        and please let me be       this is the judgment,        the fated decree              the heart has been shattered,        a broken disease       all romance is dead,        their fires did freeze.       no passion, no dreams,        no hopes will i sing,       they shot this bird down,        this bird on the wing              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
