With A Junkies Smile, I Rebuild!

by Alex D   Jan 11, 2008


Couldnt see the moon when she came out tonight
Emptiness fills my room instead of the thin rays of light
This feels like the end oh why must this end
My deepest desires couldnt answer this question
Why do I sleep alone? Why do I sleep alone?
I call out for answers but the answers stay unknown

Darling oh my darling why cant it just be like it was
You used to call me handsome but that was because
Your love used to stretch beyond the stars in the sky
Sadly, thats come and passed, as I wipe tears from my eyes
Looking for signs of life, looking for signs of life, looking
Trapped in my inebriated smiles and soft whispering
Glossy eyes and Sinner's regrets I break down
with a substance-altered conscience, my cries resound
The present has no future, so the future has no past
The past is just my grave yard, for my lonely ghosts regret
Hollow being, hollow whispering, hollow inside
Hollow is what I am, without you by my side

I need to rebuild, Yes I need to rebuild
Look to the future, hopes returning through will
Standing here dawning my junky smile
I will continue to live at least for a while
Build, yes Build. Stone and bricks. I build
A stronger fortress from heart break, still
I never slept so soundly as when I felt
Your breath on my neck

    I think this poem is brilliant. The flow and word usage were very good. And the concept was so ... interesting. I don't think I could've stopped reading if I wanted to. But what really put this piece together was the last stanza. It flowed beautifully and the word usage was ... amazing. This is probably one of the best endings I have ever read to a poem. 5/5!

    Like wow! that was awesome, i really enjoyed the rhymes as a first, and the repitition was really neat, my fav lines were defintely:
    >'Hollow being, hollow whispering, hollow inside
    Hollow is what I am, without you by my side'<
    the repitition really improved the flow. i thought while i was reading it that it could be made into a song..your volcabulary was great too, i really enjoyed it. the imagery in the last stanza was also a plus. overall it was neat, i really enjoyable read!
    take care x

    I really love this one
    But i got confused right here

    The present has no future, so the future has no past
    The past is just my grave yard, for my lonely ghosts regret

    But i really love.....

    I build
    A stronger fortress from heart break, still
    I never slept so soundly as when I felt
    Your breath on my neck

    I feel like you are saying no matter how much you build up and sheild yourself, you still feel the true reality of what has happened
