Vinny Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Here we leave our bitter blood Our parts and limbs lay strewn in mud With scents of hope and thoughts of you We frivolously lay the glue To mend back all the shattered bones And flatten all the sharpened tones In dark and rain our servants labor To ask you for this only favor To welcome back our wayward ghost And join us now to raise a toast A toast to us, to what has been A toast to memories within With stagnant hearts and broken dreams We peel slowly at the seams As love seeps out the narrow crack We whisper softly, please come back With passing days, endure the test Til' one day beaten, laid to rest And fall on one familiar bed One draped in sadness, painted red We fly our flag below half mast And reminisce the lovely past One solemn tear, for those left dead One each, for all the things you said We fight and scream to save our souls And hover over endless holes Still yet the sickle pulls us down In blackness, to forever drown The train approaches, crushing hope As we strain to tear through the rope And as we lay upon the track We whisper softly, please come back With fleeting day, engulfed by night Not one soul lives to see our plight We watch the stars return to cold And quietly do what we're told Beneath the earth, the restless dead Reciting every time you said That love would last throughout the storm That long our hearts would yet be warm But terrible truths rage on tonight A terror with no end in sight Another day, another scar We sink into the blackest tar So here we lay our bitter bones Our sour tears, our silent moans Our memories, now cloaked in black We whisper softly, please come back We whisper softly Please come back Link to comment

Daddy Bear Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Very nearly a masterpiece. If I were an Ivy League English professor, I'd give you at least an 'A-' for technical construction, and definitely an 'A+' for getting your point accross. The repeated line at the end really resonated in me. Link to comment
