Never Enough

edited October 2005 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
Ashes of knowledge
embers that burn.
Sometimes the fire
is the only way to learn.

Smoke filled eyes
blinds the sight.
But I've never seen clearer
before tonight.

Lost in an instant
no way to refrain.
Can't be taken back
the injustice is insane.

Tear it all down
just to build it all up.
When do you realize
it's never enough.

    You're welcome! Seriously, that ending hits home over here as well. You have NO idea. Reminds me of my ex of 5 1/2 years, at the end of it all I just felt like "love is not enough"...very sad thing to realize. Apparently he gave his all but it really never, ever felt like enough. :(

    *sigh*

    MEN! :p

    I had a different take on what it's about when I wrote it, but I like your version as well.

    my take differed as well. I like it. I like it alot.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Just out of curiosity, what do you think I was talking about in the poem?

    I think you mean that no matter how hard you try, things can be taken away without reason, and it could be the most unfair thing in the world, and you can't stop it or hold on.
    I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

    Kovo I like your interpretation alot too.

    I was looking at the 2002 Ten Club Christmas record from Pearl Jam. The one that has the songs "Don't Belive in Christmas" and "Sleepless Night". I was looking at both sides of the cover of the 45 and it made me think of the poem above. That's a big hint. What do you think?

    to me it kind of says it does not matter you know/think you know. There are things you will see that blow your mind. when you see it, you have to reconstruct all the logic you have ever built.

    I think it is so cool all of you got something different from it. I actually had a different meaning as stated above off of the cover of their 45.

    the smoke floating
    the rain falling
    the heart loving
    home is found

    the walk is taxing
    the feet are cracking
    the birds are flying
    home is found

    the dinner is done
    the dinner is down
    time to move on
    home is the road
    home is leaving home
    home is always gone
    thanks to everyone who can read what i write without having to say something mean
