To You

[innocentpoison333]

Tired, Restless, and Weary
I lie awake staring
Staring into the night
There is not a single light
And I am forgotten

You dont see me cry
You know not where my heart lies
There is a smile on your face
Im glad to see you are happy
Go on living

Ill be fine
Just leave me behind
Just go on prentending Im not here
You dont see me
And you dont care

This is my miserable story
This is my last good bye
I take my last bow
On this stage of love
And I will leave you with this, only a kiss

Now chosse your path
Ride it well
This is my final farewell
So sleep sweet angel
And walk on by
And pay no attention to me cry

i really enjoyed your poem. i feel like that a lot. i'd like to share part of the lyrics of one of my favorite songs...it is similar in that it talks about bowing on the stage of life...this is the end of the song, lifts me up everytime


despair, can ravage you
if you turn your head around to look down the path
that's led you here,
cause what can you change?
you're a vessel now floating down the waterways.
you can take your rudder and aim your ship,
just don't bother with the things left in your wake.
just sail belly up to the clouds,
the rocks scraping your back.
to breathe in the air
will be the only thing that you have
and your love will be warm nights
with pockets of moonlight
spotlighting you as you drift,
the actor in this play.
and you walk across the stage,
take a bow, hear the applause,
and as the curtain falls,
just know you did it all
the best that you knew how
and you can hear them cheering now.
so let a smile out and show your teeth
cause you know you lived it well.
