(i always "guess"
i "guess" i'm never sure
about anything
but i don't think
that there's much guesswork here
it's over)

i don't guess it matters
not much missed
once all is gone
just another empty slot
someone will fill it soon
just the memory of a ghost
and a barcode left behind

(dreams
and in the end
that's all they were
just dreams
that's all)

finally put the pen aside
use both hands to keep it all inside
not ashamed of all the lies
because i really beLIEved i could do it

i "guess" i was wrong

goodbyes are too awkward and long
best just to fade to black
burn out, fade away
it's all the same
in the end

Fantastic write, 5 stars!

Quote: "just the memory of a ghost

I really like that part, being creative and different is not something all ppl think about. They like to stick to traditional - nothing will go wrong.
But use whatever comes to your head, no matter how insane it sounds, believe in your heart as poetry is the language of the soul.

"finally put the pen aside

I loved those two lines. This was such a sad
poem I don't really know what to say.

First off, I loved the title. Very original...I like original poets...they're more fun to read. And you've got some great lines that people have already pointed out, but I'll pick out my favorites....

I liked the first stanza because you're letting the reader into your own thought process...To me that always expresses realness....

just another empty slot
someone will fill it soon
just the memory of a ghost
and a barcode left behind

great image, I like the use of the word "barcode" in poetry. Haven't heard it before. It reminds me of this empty, superficial, fake, plastic, Britney Spears, American culture we live in.

And the last stanza was great too.

burn out, fade away
it's all the same
in the end
the fire dies

I felt that.

Be True,
zenmind
