Miss you nights

by Grant Gilbert AKA Slash   Apr 2, 2009


Miss you nights

Quiet night sounds serenade
Like the love, that we had made
Thoughts of you make me lose control
Though they cannot heal my soul

These thoughts of longing after all
Ease upon me, before the fall
Staring at the spaces, where your face had been
Blank square patterns, now create the scene

Moonbeams bathing the wooden floor
The specter moves like it did before
These miss you nights, seem to linger still
Restless now in the evening chill

Fifty years now and even more
This ghostly ritual just as before
Every morning just past three
I blow my brains out, it's my destiny

I wish I could love you, like I did before
But tonight my love, we'll meet once more
Tonight I'll pull the trigger, one last time
We'll be together, before the sun does shine

    This was really interesting and awkward to be actually reading something like this from you. But youve really put this poem in a unique prespective.. coming from someone's mind.. deep and darkly written. Well done Grant.

    5/5.

    A dark poem, although the first verse gives me the impression of a love poem beginning. It drew me in. Your words seem to say that you would do anything to have your one true love with you, even if that meant their destruction. Well done. 5/5

    Wow!

    Grant, this really was a captivating poem.
    I would end it like this: before the sun will climb. That somehow seems more poetic, but that just me, lol.
    I loved the whole story and could almost see inside this poor man's head.

    Good work, my friend:)

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid
