Shot in the Eye Date: Monday, 1st August 2005 @ 06:12:08 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: mangos Take me apart And recycle my organs Into the pits of desperation Where hope is only a faint idea Truisms that fail to relate To the desires of the common thread A precipice etched in stone Outlines of chiseled features close to dead Only on the rare occasion Does a heart speak so fluid Do tonsils fill a trachea With chords of pristine music Nothing unavailable Resources scattered to edges and limits All is preventable The avalanche stood still before it plummets Before our time ends The target makes its way to the bullet With your finger cocked Why are you waiting, why not just pull it? _____________________________ _________________________________ This poem is Copyright © mangos Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
