Array ( [sid] => 58422 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Humble Ending [time] => 2004-08-01 17:50:33 [hometext] => Theres nothing I can really say. This poem means much to me and I hope you enjoy. [bodytext] => Let me rest in pieces.
Beneath the shallow willow tree.
Soak me in gasoline.
Light me with your ciggerette.
Give me the light I so desperatly need.
I dont want to feel anything anymore.
I give up you win.

Go away like all the other.
Your lie's they are my sheets.
They keep me warm.
Beneath the ground.
Where I was laid.
Where I remain.

One lonely paragraph sums me up.
I wont forget what you said.
This humble ending.
Dont seem so real after all.

My fingers scrap against the ground.
In the grave you dug for me.
I guess I wasnt so different after all.
I guess I cant tell a lie anymore.

I guess all the truth is in yours.
Everything has gone to hell.
I never get what I want anyway.
It keeps my secrets.
It marks my grave.

I hope the spring finds you well beneath the sheets.
Cause I'll be here beneath your flowers.
They keep me warm.
My heart is burning.
So I give up and you win.
I dont deserve this.
Oh well who am I trying to kid. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 241 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Mortis-Dark [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
