2004-02-18 21:40:05 ET Well... so I'm in a writing frenzy. I wrote three yesterday... wrote this today. Craziness. It's about seeing the person you want taken by someone you know. And you know this person is fake and nothing good but they are your friend so you just let it happen and watch the one thing you desire leave you for him... this is not a current event but one from the past. Enjoy. "The Parting of Time" The assault of brain and mouth Between the ears of the possessed Marked by conceit and feelings dark to the core Misunderstood standing to be corrected Flow by mouth well past when the jaw becomes sore And dull lifeless lies in the wells of the disconnected Like flies circling the plagued and starving Starving for a second chance at failure Smug and without remorse passing and dying Never learning to listen and react Just a temporary image left to never interact Only fading as the projector flips the scene Is the lens blurry or was that an answer? Emission of phrases and words is better than none It just seems to be far fleeting and misleading Rather than something true Bonds are broken on the chemist's plate As the creation of a ghost becomes the origin of the unoriginal Leaving the others to listen with wonder as the recordings of stories and lessons Mindgames and transgressions rewrite themselves in his breath Dimensionless images leap across his teeth Like the flicking of a fiery reptile's tongue Sinister and merciless are the tools of the carpenter's misguided Unloved and unloyal Sorrowful and embattled His moment to rise has come home with you Buying into the speech and entrapping the prey One and one in the same planned timing So this is the way you want to go out To flicker and die like an irradiated perspective on a negative touched by the sun When you could have hung on the wall besides me And this is when the reel skips you out of my sight |
