Understanding

By GlassBrains

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've wondered for hours about this I stayed asleep today when slovenly placed shots never miss its nothing i can ever say but definitely worth waiting for Because I just can't understand why the winner is always the sinner I won't bother it now let the sleepers lie Maybe I'll forget the names and faces of everyone I've ever met it would be much easier to let all the kids run away And I will never understand why the winner is always the God damn sinner I've been in the race for days and look at me, I'm still not you All I want to do is dream premonitions and see whats inside you stay clean and be different stand in line and have a happy fucking New Year But I still can't understand why the winner is always the God damn sinner save a place for me because I'm still thinking I'll come home from a trip to the west I'll see you play the 'sinner' you'll lock it in a box there is no place like home You can't make me understand why the winner is just a sinner why its good to glow and why bridges lead home Written April 16th, 2002 © on Apr 16 2002 03:04 PM PST   20 • 0 • 9
