Pushing Over the Domino

You just watch as life goes by
For there is nothing for you nearby
As you look in the past
To see what went so fast
You can't believe your eyes
There was nothing there but lies

It started un-dyed
Even if he lied
He had my all
Though it was taken as optional

He gave up and quit
You feel inadequate
Pushing over the domino
He says he has to go

Sitting under unclear light
Life becomes a hellish blight
You feel like you've died
You can't believe the ride
But you go with the uncertain tide

You can't sit and hide
You have to preside
For those that you guide
They are your love

  1. That is serious poetry, my friend. Poems are powerful things...you have a talent. I was thinking...you should come out to hawaii and learn to surf with Zac and I. Another fertile field of poetry subjects... :)
