Where were you?

by Espoirfailed   Jun 14, 2007


You left me at the station
You left me with a cool sensation
in my mouth.
No, it wasn't quite desire,
And it sure wasn't fulfillment,
It was the water to our fire.
The slow pace of the ticking clock and its tired face,
Try to breathe life into this dying race.
There's community and then there's
the sense of identical unity.
There's helping someone and then there's
breathing for them.
But none of this means you're not leaving.

If intelligence was your game, I was never going to be your claim to fame.
But i had the type of heart you could wear round your neck,
You could put it on the table next to your bed.
Or you could actually look into my eyes and see,
there was never any compromise.
There was you then there was me.
And that's all it will ever be.

I waited in that line,
For far too much time.
I lost my watch that day, or was it week?
Well I don't think I'll ever find it again, no matter how hard I seek.
I only came on the promise you had it and you were going to give it back.
But I only saw train on track after track.
Where were you?
There was people, but none of them were you,
But that's not true, in my world, there's only you.

    Nice work. The words spoke strongly and even though the format meant that the flow wasn't that smooth, the poem still worked because of the way you wrote it. The fact that the flow was like that actually provided a better emotional read. Thanks

    cheers, josh
