Description
Static is the velvet curtain keeping us apartStatic are the iron chains wrapped tight around the heart
Static are the darkened lenses that have kept me blind
Static are the bitter memories all that I can find
I search for what I cannot see
The quest leaves me in agony
But the pain I feel says that this need is true
Echoed cries are growing bolder
They must for I'm growing older
Are the echoes coming back from you?
Static is the price I pay for my daily bread
Static is the empty room where I lay my head
Static is the sun above me burning from the sky
Static is the scene about me will not let me fly
I search for what I cannot see
The quest leaves me in agony
But the pain I feel is empathy for you
Echoes cries are growing bolder
They must for I'm growing older
Are the words I hear returning to me true?
Static are the thousand voices ringing in your room
Static are the simple choices leading to our doom
Static is the picture that reminds me of your face
Static forces binding you into your prescribed place
I search for what I long to see
The quest leaves me in agony
But the pain I feel says that this love is true
Echoed cries are growing bolder
Dying now as I grow older
Are the echoes coming back from you?
Static is the prison but I'm longing to be free
Static walls can't keep me from where I want to be

"Static are the thousand voices ringing in your room." Yep. That's me. I can't seem to make them shut up. The ever-going quest to decide which voice to listen to. *sighs*
Kind of a bitter-sweet poem. Happens to match my mood at the moment. heh. I like the idea of echoes, too, especially concidering the distance.

I'm glad you liked it. Yet another set of lyrics that came to my mind in the middle of work, when I'm trying to think about anything but the frustration of my job.
Yeah, it's kinda fitting for my mood, too. It's hard being stuck in a life that you feel almost powerless to change, isn't it? I need to pay for my apartment, and my car, and my loans... All things you can relate to. And the cost never changes. It's always a percentage of my time, my life, my soul. *sighs*
Oh, I almost forgot. I still outnumber you. *chuckles*

Outnumber me? *tips head*
Oddly, I've not had the ability to write poetry lately. Been wanting to, but...it just doesn't come. Frustrating, that!

It's just one of those lines I've been using for years and years. Ask SF about it sometime, if you want to. If nothing else, it'll give her a reason to write back, yes?
Sorry that you haven't been able to write. I'm sure that it's just your muse giving you a hard time.

Aye, that he has been! Though...sometimes I wonder if Shawn is responcible for prose only and if I get my poetry inspiration from somewhere else altogether. Heh.

I hope you don't get that inspiration from me. I'd hate to think I'm failing you when you need me. ^_^;

*shakes head* You silly. No, I seriously doubt that. My muses tend to be imaginary, not real. ^_^'

That's a relief. Wait... Are you certain I'm not imaginary? After all, it seemed like your friends figured you'd never wind up with a real guy, given your fixation on some of the imaginary ones... *grins*

Great work. It has a lot of raw emotion in it that really comes through. That's what you were going for, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty much, yes. I wasn't sure how clearly that would come through with the style that I was writing this in. I'm glad it worked out.
