[bodytext] => So long East and West Harbor drive You served me well in the field of uncertainty With grains of ocean scattered across my mountain mind Just give me some kind of sign you roads, and islands and bays And drown me with insight of beauty arrays It was true, everything he had always said About never getting close enough And the further I drove away The more impossible it all became Blueberry tea and high tides Weren’t what I had expected While watching all the planes overhead Destined to reach the ground And all those others reunited with their lovers Gone safely into the city night While disappointment is near to linger It takes the form of the car I’m driving And makes every song end too soon tonight I could drive as far south on the highway And envy all the murals on the side Everything is so hopeless these days And I always seem to be left guessing In heaps of cigarette ash and engaging illusions What more can I say for tomorrow? When I just wanna grace those old sheets And smell the hair dye from downstairs But I’ve got a safe bet on this bed and hazy night tonight With the heavy world crossing my sanity As I make my way to the third story floor Remembering open glares that meet the street signs All along the gas stations and mile markers I wanna hear all the stories of the Atlantic That are convinced to end this apathy And illuminate my darkened desert western home As the shadows fade in the form of crossed miles I’ll keep my faith in vacancy and indifference With the city well within view My heart has been placed in jeopardy While your word was placed upon the wings of evening avenues And I’m not getting any closer to where I want to be So just be my guiding light or be my landing plane Be my anchor in these seas of chaotic storms And let me know that you’ll be the blanket to keep me warm tonight [comments] => 2 [counter] => 266 [topic] => 48 [informant] => spreadyourwings [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
