Perpetual Darkness of a Pensive Mind

by Curing the Comon Cliche   Jun 21, 2008


Broken glass beyond repair
Candle light when no one's there
Lips won't speak what ears can't hear
Candle light with no one near

Pen won't write what eyes can't see
Things that can't, won't ever be
Eyes are closed, but lost in light
So damn close, yet out of sight

Perpetual darkness of a pensive mind
New candle brighten with each one's recline
Wisp of flame with dark retreat
Low on light and give no heat

Flicker of light's reluctant belief
Break from the darkness allows sad relief
Eternal darkness of a pensive mind
Candle cast shadow, shadow swallows light over time

Perpetual darkness of a pensive mind
The darkest of corners bring out the best rhymes
Blow out the wisp of dying light
Blow a kiss and say goodnight

pensive- adjective: showing pensive sadness
adjective: persistently or morbidly thoughtful

^does that sound like me or what?

((Perpetual darkness of a pensive mind
The darkest of corners bring out the best rhymes
Blow out the wisp of dying light
Slit your wrists and say goodnight)) ~first ending i edited

    I like both endings.
    the one you didn't edit is bitter though, although the other is bitter-sweet.
    nice job
