Cry Out

Tuesday, February 03, 2009

Out into the darkness
Please call it out
It will echo the power
The names they'll never hear
No one will come running
To be the hero of this tragedy
So cry out
So cry out

Lying there next to you
Something you used to love
You know it so well
But always wondering
What was beyond the breath
And now you know
So cry out
So cry out

Shaking hands glide across the throat
But it's nothing to notice
It is nothing new
The same chord progression
To the same old love song
Gleaming eyes tell the truth
So cry out
So cry out

It's not something you meant
It's something you avoided
Regardless it attacked
Destroyed you
And now all you have
Is nothing breathing
So cry out

Very nice,
you have an interesting piece. I like the mental imagery used in describing the uselessness of it but to cry out anyway. This feels very much like lyrics to me, good ones at that. That idea was then strengthened by your line about repetitive chord progressions. Such use in poems I find is a personal touch. I like it here.

"Shaking hands glide across the throat
But it's nothing to notice
It is nothing new"
This was my favored line. I found it unique and telling of personal things and emotions. This is a very good piece of poetry. Keep your art coming.
Sincerely
Christopher
