It All Seems A Million Miles Away

And there it is, the mirror that shows every imperfection

The one I used to stare into, hoping to find some bit of direction

But after all this time, I still cannot make it over this wall

On the other side the grass is green, but to reach it I'd have to fall

And there you are, the one who gave me all the blame

There she is covering her face again, white with cocaine

And here I am again, my brain not functioning like it should

To heal it and say I'm forever okay, If only I could

Looking up to the sky, the stars seem millions of miles away

Looking at all my mistakes, I know I can't make them stay

Looking at these pills, they are there to make me feel so much better

I wouldn't have to take them, If I would just keep myself together

And there it is, the knife I took to my pride

How many sleepless nights, how many hours I cried

But most of all here you are

The one who makes hope seem not that far

But once again, I'm ******* things up

I pour my regret daily into this cup

And I drink it all away, putting it all back inside

My pathetic mask is breaking, then what is left to hide?

Just forget it, this life is not worth the pain

I hate it, I'm going back outside to sit in the rain

Because everything seems a million miles away

Everything I ever wanted, just can never stay

Posted by philneale1952 2008-08-24 09:28:14 Sense One metaphor after another, and I must be getting into this style of poetry because this made sense. Bitterness is an awful thing and this was truly AWE full. Phil + Report this comment
Posted by Terry Collett 2008-08-24 12:38:57 .... The use of couplets is often misused, but you have it down to quite a fine art here. The carries the message along well, amking it modern sounding and not some 19th century rehash. good work. + Report this comment
Posted by r.e.potter 2008-08-24 13:26:00 .... Million and one miles to be exact. Like the first two lines to open with, thought provoking. Thought you did another great job of emotion with the rest as well in the form of a poem. Good job....................... + Report this comment
Posted by lemon 2008-08-25 09:54:30 .... This one made me want to cry. Your pieces are always so emotional and the last few I've read have been a fuse of hope and depression. This one makes me think you need a hug *hug* Great work =] + Report this comment
