    I don't recognize..

    its all too familiar.

    Happy as a clam...

    thats my next door neighbor.

    He gets high more than I get low.

    My face is formed into such stone and I have travelled distances too far to roam.

    Someone touches my hand and says lets pretend..

    I gaze up to the wind..

    I shake and I tremble and I melt with the raindrops as I say,

    I can't do that anymore.

    Eyes behind cold clustered wind blink heavily.

    I run.

    Scared.

    I don't run fast but I run alot.

    This feeling of empty is the worst feeling I've ever had.

    I want to die but the parachute is already open.

    And I can't rewind.
    Fine.

    Oooooh good piece.

    "Eyes behind cold clustered wind blink heavily." Sweet imagery!

    Loved that!!! What an ending. -Fine- is just so haunting there, almost gave me chills.

    awesome poem, loved those 2 parts especially. and kitten was right, the "Fine" is like the intensity of the whole poem. Wouldn't have been as striking without it :)
