Steady Date: Sunday, 2nd August 2009 @ 09:41:22 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: stellar Steady, steady like a drum Quell the chaos as it comes Keep the rhythm, keep the pace Never let them see your face Hide these songs inside your head Peaceful melodies instead Full of hope and love and grace But never let them see your face Beats go slowly, never change Until you’re all alone again Skipping murmurs now can grow Cracks creep up from down below By yourself, you hit the floor Grief seeping from every pore The lyrics burst from deep within A song so sad it cannot win It’s all to much you tell yourself To keep these songs up on a shelf But one by one again they come Steady, steady like a drum This poem is Copyright © stellar Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
