Seen Better Days

by Michael C. Shivar

I was walking alone And I fell down on my knees A river flowing from my eyes And no one heard my pleas The water rushing drowned my soul And buried me in the sand I shoveled dirt into my mouth And fell to your demands Love is such a foreign thing And I think I’ll stay in bed No reason to get excited today And nothing important ahead Can’t seem to pray today And I think I’ve fallen down Screaming, anguished, bleeding soul And my voice it makes no sound The deaf are crying all alone And you could hear no words Breaking hearts is fun to do And loving is for the birds But I think you are a wonderful girl And will I truly say goodbye I should have listened long ago And let sleeping beauty lie *no insight listed as of yet
