so for now i'll sit in the back of the shadows
raising toasts to the conquests of others
and the chances of mine that ran out of time
that were then handed down to my brothers
Life as a martyr isn't nearly as bad
as my need for love to be fleeting and few
It's isnt by choice or a will to repeat it
it's just slowly becoming that thing that I do
but I needed to go where there's more they can offer
I needed a break from the strain of the world
so my ticket is bought and i'm ready to jetset
and i'll see if theres more than my love for a girl
and the risk that I took wasnt worth all the trouble
but I needed to take it if only for me
and now once again the safety is fleeting
for a new band of players are charging the scene
i'm trying to make this a poem but I cant rhyme it very well. . Try as I might, i'm not meant to be happy with what(read 'who') i've found just yet but others are. I get it. I can take the hint. I'll never be happy about it but i'll stop trying to expect more to come from the situations I often find myself in that, in a perfect world or a normal life might lead to something but for me lead only to a word document.
You amaze me, honestly. I love your poetry.
