gregory-fiete - Hello Poetry

I thought I'd marry the first girl I ever loved We'd have a beautiful wedding And it was all choreographed from above We could attract our opposites Meet in the middle, Compromise and then we'd settle. But I slept through an existential nightmare Where black clouds rolled Like marching bands at midnight And my guitar strings don't sing for you anymore And we don't talk on the phone, At least not like we did before. So I'll stick this needle in my arm And draw the poisoned blood from my heart Before it reaches my brain and distorts my reality Because my reality is lonely And the truth is you don't want to be seen With someone like me

As a young man he took the doctor's pills Because he was alive but didn't want to be. As a man he took someone else's pills Because he didn't feel alive but wanted to. As an old man he took his own pills Because he wanted to stay alive but couldn't help dying.

I woke up one morning with my insides in a knot I froze to death from icy sweat, my body getting hot And an angel stood beside me and he whispered in my ear "For every day you misbehave I'll take another year" So I stumbled to get out, empty bottles on the floor And was aiming for my city as I crashed out through the door I hurried out only to find I was a single soul Everything was silent but a hellish belling knoll The angel stood before me and cackled in my face "In all your wildest fantasies, this here is the place!" But here were no burning rivers or pillars made of fire, The pain that came and scarred the most was from my own desires What I wanted most in life was nowhere to be found And the landscape that surrounded me was empty all around I knew I'd never die again and would dwell here endlessly, No one to keep me company and no drugs to keep my sanity I woke up the next morning with my insides in a knot I froze to death from icy sweat, my body getting hot. And an angel stood beside me and she whispered in my ear "The only way to stay away is to give up all your fear"
