Murky water
clouds my thinking
sinking deep
I keep on drinking
below the surface
I still see
that death was ever
beside me
through life,
this infernal lie,
never did I
cease to try,
the water keeps on
seeping down
but, alas, my will
is not to drown
If I die before
I wake,
remember those that
I forsake
amid the doldrums
I will be
if ever was
forget not me
passing through these
lines of print
ink placed on
for my short stint
time alone is
wasted forever
long indeed
the length of never
together sorrow,
loss and I,
We'll get there yet
or dying try.

I really like this. And I don't usually like poetry in general, unless your name is A.E. Stallings.

I think it would make a great song, too. Tori Amos, maybe?

never thought of it as a song. the story behind it is really sad but I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night the other night and wound up going through old diaries and found it.

I'm glad I found you again, and I am now all caught up ;)

Even though this was inspired by a sad moment it is still beautiful anyhow. We wouldnt have some of the best poetry/books/songs/etc if there were no sad times in people's lives.

However, it looks like you had had your share. Time for some happy times :)
