Yeah, now they don't mean *****.
I've tried to drink those days away,
But I remember all of it.

I breathe the deathly air
Of the day's last cigarette,
You're there in the back of my mind,
Clothed heavy with regret.

My thoughts of those summer days,
Lost in the winters chill,
You know I'd be a dead man,
If lonely thoughts could kill.

I've never been one for long-term,
But you left me wanting more,
I take it day by day,
But I don't know what for.

I hadn't talked to you,
In i don't know how long-
Friendships can be hard,
When you haven't quite moved on.

But since you re-appeared,
In that devil-colored dress,
I haven't been able to think straight,
I haven't been able to rest.

And I know that it's just me-
I just need a little more time.
I guess that that's what happens,
When your heart governs your mind.

My glass stares back at me-
As empty as the night.
I pour myself another,
Like that will make things right.

And somewhere in the city-
the lovers dance and sing-
I've got everything I need
But without you it's not a thing.

I'll never have you again,
At least that much I know,
But if sighs were charm and good looks,
I'd have had you long ago.

I breathe the deathly air,
Of the day's last cigarette,
One day I know I'll be fine,
but that day hasn't come yet. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 13 [informant] => scott [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Those few days we wasted kissing-
Yeah, now they don't mean *****.
I've tried to drink those days away,
But I remember all of it.

I breathe the deathly air
Of the day's last cigarette,
You're there in the back of my mind,
Clothed heavy with regret.

My thoughts of those summer days,
Lost in the winters chill,
You know I'd be a dead man,
If lonely thoughts could kill.

I've never been one for long-term,
But you left me wanting more,
I take it day by day,
But I don't know what for.

How damn sad and just simply tragic. I love it when poet's go this deep into love's heart break. I especially love the analogy of memory and ghost.

SPLENDID!

Wow! I really liked this. It's so sad and, I don't know, full of longing. Hope things get better for you. Thanks :)
