Fallen Drive

By Defallene Engel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Dry leaves fall freelyCan you see the different colours?And don't you wish you could be so free?But I'm the one driving with one hand(I don't drive so good with my left)Memorizing the feel of yoursWondering how it could feel so softBut I know you're crying insideI can hear your voice stuck in your throatAlmost feel the quivering lipsHow can you expect me to stand straight?Knowing I'm the one to break you downHow did you get inside my wall?And now you're going to let me fall...And a kiss would tear me downI know I can't stop myselfOnce the barrier is broken(By you)But I know I'm doing fineThere's no tears in my eyes this timeI'm still hanging on tightly(To that edge of pain)Knuckles turned white, strainingWith the hate of it all Written October 26th, 2001 © on Oct 26 2001 06:39 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
