play this one with all your heart
leave your inhibitions behind
what have you got left?

turn the radio back,
those winter blue tunes are all wrong -
playing the wrong harmony
that's not what this is about.

let's play all those childish games
nothing is safe in the past tonight
sundown won't mean a thing
we've got these bright lights in our eyes

hope that forever can last in these months
the flames confirm our desires
impossible doesn't exist anymore
we can burn away all those wasted nights

what doesn't come rushing back
isn't worth remembering
we'll live forever in the blended night-day
i'm going to miss this, if nothing else

even when the sun rises again
the smoke is still in the air
fire keeps burning
these things never die [comments] => 1 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 43 [informant] => anomalei [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

A well written piece with some great metaphors, such as:

'sundown won't mean a thing
we've got these bright lights in our eyes'

'hope that forever can last in these months
the flames confirm our desires
impossible doesn't exist anymore
we can burn away all those wasted nights'

Good work.
