Sometimes you get blown away by someone you thought you knew.


Standing Alone


Frozen stones hold the backpack
Filled with wishes and words.
Friends look at the stars in the sky
And wonder why I said 'bye.'

Even the soccer game is over,
Nobody has any more time
To spin a yarn, or caress this night
So filled with stares, anguish, and fright.

Only snow spins and swirls the soft hair
Of the ones loved and sheltered
From these elements, full of pain
Like another day of flooding rain.

All of your friends have fallen too
Scraping the rocks and dust downward,
Finding a bed of icy cold dreams
That staggered no where it seems.

Splash my face with acid days
And rip these emotions to pieces.
This long life of stress and tears,
Standing alone again with my fears.

The metaphoric imagery
in this piece blows me away.

But saying that,
remember that i'm here
to help chase those fears away.

surely, the directness, the imagery of this piece, makes it what it is. perhaps, the concept can be related to, in multiple ways, under multiple conditions, but, ultimately, you describe your situation, your present feeling, emotion, in something unique and perfect, here...im reading your 'description' again, just the one sentence you had left, and it pushes me to think, im not quite able, to perceive what it was you were trying to say, but, i would still like to think i do...either way, i enjoyed reading what you had to write, for the simple fact it carries a bit of complicated association with it...
