I Still Remember

Stuck awake while the undead feed, I play guitar 'til my fingers bleed

The notes and chords, the sting of strings

Help me to mull over things

The rhythm pumping through my veins

soothes my soul as night-time wanes

Our time apart has me feeling blue

So I write a poem just for you

"Dear love" it says "I cannot see, the reasons you're avoiding me"

Then rambles on for ten more lines

And ends up being a waste of time

For how can this bring back the bliss, that once accompanied a kiss

From lips so soft and sweet and perfect

The taste of which make waking worth it

I know I've got this out of sorts

My bitter mind does too much thought

But something's keeping us apart

And cutting through my wasted heart

The pills wear off, the dam wall blows and before too long there's tears a-flow

My heaving breath prolongs my death AND PRETTY SOON THERE'S NOTHING LEFT

BUT A WASTED SMILE AND THOUGHTS SO VILE

A MURDERER WHO STANDS ON TRIAL

WOULD SHAKE HIS HEAD IN SHOCK TO SEE THE MONSTER THAT RESIDES IN ME

But no, I've taken this too far

I've blown it out beyond the stars

There's nothing wrong, I'm over-tired. Caffeine problem's got me wired

I know that soon your smile I'll see

From gloomy thoughts I'll soon be free

I trust you with my beating heart and cannot wait for life to start

So now to rest my weary head

And banish this unfounded dread

I fill my mind with hope and dreams and seal it tightly at the seams

My love for you is beating strong

And quick do I admit my wrongs

To sleep I go, with no more fear

For soon I know I'll have you

Here
