Poetry: Deserted

by The Rain King

Created on: July 02, 2008   Last Updated: July 03, 2008

I wanted to be you
So long ago
I felt your heart in my soul
I hated to be lost alone in that snow

I've been emerged in water
Baptized in fire
Danced on the freeway
Took myself higher

I saw your pain
Beneath the blue in your eyes
It's sad how time slows down
But its tendency that flies

I waited on the freeway
Of Middle America
I'm trapped in this graveyard desert
In a dungeon inside Pennsylvania

I wanted you to engulf me
Like a blood filled ocean
But you left me high and dry
I don't remember when

Answer me this
When are you coming home?
Am I grasping hollow
Am I wondering alone?

Razor blades swim through my heart
They still exist
I can't get rid of them
Loneliness persists

It seems people have attitudes
Always bad, always towards me
I don't know why
I guess that's a curse of a Rain King
