Have Heart

by ether   Jul 25, 2009


There's detoxification in the initiation,
You're cold and cold you'll stay.
What's to do with winter smiles?
Improve your composure by running away.

The glorification you can't fathom,
Stuck in the cement with buried treasure,
Tears in your eyes which is a surprise,
Your apathy is impossible to measure.

I don't believe in ghosts or children,
When do the dead finally become free?
When do the babies become intoxicated?
I don't believe any good can come from me.

The shore line has corrupted my mind.
Forever changing, but staying the same.
The sands honesty battles the waves away,
Through thousands of years it's remained.

You're so cynical, why don't you see?
No beauty could have come from coal,
You're a waste of paint, of company.
This art couldn't save your soul.

    This is amazing. The vocab is great and the flow is absolutely flawless. Every line just rolled off my tongue.
    I got a bit stuck at this line though;
    'The sands honesty battles the waves away'
    I didn't quite get it at first, but I think that "sands" is supposed to be sands', but I don't know much about those ' things and where they are supposed to go haha.
    I'll shut up now.
    But really.. amazing piece.
