There's a picture of waves lying on the floor,

Occupying the space that you don't anymore,

And i can't help but think back to better days,

Sitting by the shore and watching those waves,

And you tracing their image out in pastel,

Just one of the many things you did so well,

And I'm sick,

of feeling like I'll always be alone,

And I'm tired,

of just about everything that I know,

Well there's no life in space, there's hardly any here,

And there's no help from heaven for facing these fears,

I hate to admit it, but death is my friend,

Time is the foe that I struggle against,

And there's nothing in me that's nearly as strong,

And there's no unit of time that's half as long,

As I'd need to move on and find my own way,

Out of this slow decay,

And I'm sick,

of hearing that life isn't meant to be fair,

And I'm tired,

of searching for help from a god that just isn't there.

Posted by chaabuk 2008-08-06 15:31:08 Despair The poem is full of despair, dejection and disappointment. When one comes to the end of one's hopes, this usually happens. But one must learn to hope and stay afloat. For that is life. But your poem makes me think of what I'd be otherwise. + Report this comment

Posted by alfred 2008-08-07 19:05:12 .... Thought it was good. Why is it that everytime we get depressed we sit on the shores of a beach...never understood that. Just sit on the toilet with that picture you have on the floor up on the wall. With Gas(speaking for cars)its cheaper to be depressed at home. + Report this comment
