i posted this earlier but it hasen't come up so i'll do it again ok here goes

the foundations of my life have split
the atom in two
how could they do it to you?
drop those tears
now get out
of your big dismal
and touch the sky

you've got to forget those tears
cause they only reach the ground
you've got to touch the sky

all around you there's faceless men
forgetten their creator
but you stopped me slipping
off the edge
my burden lifted
now i can touch the sky

you can't use the failings of others
as justfication
for your run in the mud
for he is the key
to escape your prison

drop those tears
forget those tears
The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

Feels like were all alone
Running further from what’s right
And there are no more heroes to follow

So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?

    Very Edish.
    Given to Fly part 2.
    Is it dedicated to Ed. An Edication perhaps?

    LOL

    not a dedication to Ed but I "borrowed" the use of the phrase faceless men from he and another lead singer who used that phrase. Is it obvious what the song is about?

    My roots go ever deeper
    So my love can climb me
    To touch that sky that so
    Inspires every inch i grow

    I am growing up because of you.
    I won't shed a tear because i know you
    are my
    friend.


    Thanks for the poem. it does remind me of flying....and waves of wet lust for life.

    yes it is.

    tears feel good on your face when the sun shines on it too hot.

    A Surprise Left, your poem brought that out. It was not there before i read what you wrote.

    oh what can i say i'm truly gifted! LOL

    thats the first peice of creative writing i've done since a class i took last year. i should do it more often not because i'm some great writer but it feels really good to get things out. I won't go into detail about my song/poem but its basically about my parents splitting up when i was a little younger.
