When the lights go out. <br />What are you afraid of? <br />A unknown love. <br />A simple touch means so much. <br />When your down on your knees, hands in your face. <br />Thinking of all the mistakes you have made. <br />This unending parade. <br />Every ones marching on without you. <br />You and their business has concluded. <br />One day, one night and they are gone. <br />I love to stay but this is not where I belong. <br />To remember all their songs. <br />An impossibility. <br />Why does it always have to be so wrong? <br />It's not the life for me. <br />I still hear you say. <br />The ghost of your absence brings such heart ache. <br />It's so hard to try not to feel. <br />The corrosion of the mighty steel. <br />Rusted and rotted out. <br />A hole so slowly made. <br />Part of the ages. <br />It comes in stages. <br />Each a separate embrace. <br />Always worst then last. <br />Creating the past. <br />Fill a thirst by taste. <br />It becomes a race. <br />I'll see you at the top. <br />As it's better place. <br />Is all this a waste? <br />A experiment of the mind. <br />With a sawed off 10 gauge shotgun I take aim. <br />Blowing away the distance of time.<br /><br />Ace Of Black Hearts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lonely-poem-an-over-extended-stay/
