I wish I could tap your pessimism
Know the dread that haunts your heart
as true as death is cold

I wish I could feel the assuredness
That turns your stomach each time
you speak hints of it with a scournful tongue

I wish to sing your requiem for a perversion of hope
But with all the wrong words
And all the right notes

I wish I could breathe the tainted breath
That ends your dreams
And scalds your embittered soul

  • Man, there are some great poets around these here parts! :) And that, Cran Man, was great!
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    Between the conception and the creation

    Between the emotion and the response

    Falls the shadow.
