Every day another something falls away,
and I cannot, ever, seem to say
That I wish for it to remain, to stay.
Every damned moment, hark,
these ones who've dwelt within the dark,
'tis not your soul they wish to mark.
and 'tis not your ears in which they bark,
"Every day another something falls away."
The gravity will not relent,
even when all resistance's spent,
and the scream torn from your throat is rent,
"Don't fall away, don't fall away."
Once on the coldest winter's night,
the dark rang out with sounds of fight,
and there was only wrong, and nothing right
and the angels begged until their flight,
"Don't fall away, don't fall away."
Through the shining, shining snow,
as only you would ever know
about where it is that we all go,
when they say, "Don't fall away, don't fall away."
It took an honest man to lie,
and for me to see a child cry,
while everyone waits, to see Death die,
and for all the poets to dare to sigh,
to understand, to fall away.

It will take all of the poets. Each and every one of them.
ReplyDeleteit's what you wrote on my phone!! ^^ so, i'm assuming it's from the same song then? yes?
ReplyDeletebesides that, i like it. one part bothers me, and it might just be a strange form of revenge b/c you said the same to me once, but "resistance's" sounds odd.
...is it about that night i randomly showed up at your house? even if it has nothing to do with the happenings of that night, the scenery at the very least seems to match.
The words "don't fall away" are what I wrote on your phone. Then I was referring to the song Hemorrhage(In my hands) by Fuel. This poem did not exist then, and aside from the same theme words, has nothing to do with the song. This is my own personal "don't fall away."
ReplyDeleteI agree, actually. There are a lot of slippery sounds in "resistance's" but being that the line implies that the person is slipping/falling away- it works.
No, at least, it's not consciously about that, although I feel like it's something much darker than that.
i know that. :P oh, wait i get it, you mean this poem is new, not something from a long time ago that you just put up now.
ReplyDeletei guess that makes sense. if it were mine i'd change it just because it bothers me, but you don't have to. if you can put up with something sounding weird for a meaning, by all means leave it.
but it was so pretty that night!!! do you remember how pretty the snow looked? it was like crystals falling from the sky ^^
