How I wish I could surrender my soul; <br />Shed the clothes that become my skin; <br />See the liar that burns within my needing. <br />How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold. <br />How I wish I had screamed out loud, <br />Instead I've found no meaning. <br />How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind; <br />Hold memory close at hand, <br />Help me understand the years. <br />How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell. <br />How I wish I would save my soul. <br />I'm so cold from fear. <br /> <br />I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain, <br />All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble. <br />Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray. <br />I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble. <br />Far, far away; find comfort in pain. <br />All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble. <br />It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.<br /><br />George Ahaneku<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-and-rain-5/
