allow this all to go away,
tortured tears will wash it all away...
time is of your essence,
i have none to spare.
happenings are happening,
changes are changing.
the lords name was vain to me.
hours are my seconds,
condensed and put away.
disappointment,
this is all my disappointment.
falling up and floating down,
i want to just fade away.
to you,
i have no voice,
i have no faith--
my existance is minimal...
i hope you are satisfied.
the click-click of the hateful red hand,
clawing at the iron bars..
monotone lectures lulling me to sleep.
sleep my child,
sleep--
so your soul may be recaptured with the morning's break.
see the world of ice blue glass..
forgive them for what they have done.
just go away,
your tortured tears will surely wash this painful world away....

welcome to the poetry confrenece zoe....and what an entrance!

this is incredible...good show

i write what i feel....

"Time is of your essence" is a really cool line.

Oh, and welcome.

Cool!  More talent.  Welcome aboard, Zoe.

Delicious.  'Writing what you feel' is the true artist's touch.  The 
rest is craftmanship and skill.

Amen to that!

c'est la vive... or something..

        .... even if my heart were not already broken this would have moved
me to tears ... very moving. :)
