the poetic chronicles of "us"

anxious is the man countless years ago he followed doubt and pain but never let it show first to catch the eyes blonde and unrefined her short and shuffled feet walk in time with mine nights and days compress cars become a wish each night they turned the keys the world was on their list compiled inside a gate her secrets lied in flame breaking down the walls would fuel the fire untamed whitened in the snow shoulder made a tool she told him her regrets that night beside school time, a heartless fool danced inside their eyes trickled down their cheeks in to a sad demise flashing screens of red warning soon to come listen to it close beat it like a drum round and round it goes cycles start again wheels begin to spin relax and count to ten hallowed be thy name unrequited love worshiped like a god mistaken for a dove dyed a crimson red letters sent with hope return this back to sender with a complementary rope time returned again this time he brought a friend distance bared a shovel knowing it would end fit it in all in words fluff it up real nice rip to shreds her heart turning his to ice see her face again hear her say his name hammer to his heart melt it all with shame now anxious is the man countless years ago he followed doubt and pain never to let go
