Have you ever heard the lonesome moan of a midnight train <br />Felt that burn from whiskey the numbness of cocaine? <br />You ever leave when you really wanted to stay? <br />Without looking back start down life's last highway? <br /> <br />You ever see the world through the bottom of a glass? <br />Turn your cares to smoke taste the smoothness of hash? <br />You ever had that monkey on your back? <br />Wear long sleeves to cover the tracks? <br /> <br />You ever been a number and not a name? <br />Hold back tears and hang your head in shame? <br />Did you ever exist to hear your name called for mail? <br />Feeling sick or disappointed sitting in a six by eight cell? <br /> <br />You ever been haunted by a ghost from the past? <br />Reflect back on life only to realize nothing can last? <br />Do you think you ever cross her mind? <br />Or are you just a bad memory she'd rather leave behind? <br /> <br />So tell me have you ever really lived with sorrow? <br />Carried a burden steal beg borrow? <br />Did you leave when you knew you should stay? <br />Just another fool starting down life's last highway. <br /> <br />They say the eyes are the window to the soul, <br />Lost was found two halves make a whole <br />Meaning was empty life seemed incomplete <br />Like my missing piece entwined in fate bound to meet. <br /> <br />This separation isn't final a minor set back only for a while <br />If time is prison than love stands trial <br />Bonds are stretched but hearts are loyal <br />A road less traveled riddled with snags and toil <br /> <br />A little of me expressed with verbs <br />Trying to tell you how I feel through my words <br />All my emotions and feelings flowing from my pen <br />Pouring my heart on paper mixing ink with sin. <br /> <br />Memories of you laying naked in bed <br />Close my eyes its your voice I hear in my head <br />Yesterday whispers a past layed to rest <br />The future hold love <br />TIME IS ONLY A TEST<br /><br />sammie kelley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-you-ever-160/
