Leaving the old Behind. . .

by shawn   Dec 22, 2005


Out of sight but not out of mind;
Lying in this bed wishing what was, had not been done;
Dreaming of only better times to come;
Unable to turn back,
Leaving just one way to run;
Through the thicket of sorry and gilt,
Weaving through trees like a needle in a quilt;
Stopping silent unable to continue on this trip,
Sounds of screaming voices filling my head,
Yet unable to breach my lip;
Nothing left to do but wake up and face the dread;
Leaving behind this nightmare of woe,
To greener pastures i intend to go;

    Hmm, seems like you get all of your ideas lying in bed. That's like me, especially when I'm upset. Really good stuff, I like the rhyme scheme, and the creative rhymes you had.
