Death of an Old Romantic

Post by smiffy » Sat Aug 13, 2011 1:43 am

Ten years adrift on the ebb and flow
Some days went fast
Too many went slow
Love on waves ten miles high
Bottom feeding
On dreams that died
Wave after wave of confused emotion
Ten years surfing
In a teardrop ocean
Falling in love on a smile or a kiss
Wave after wave
All comes down to this
So easy to run
Impossible to hide
A hole in my pocket
Through which slipped pride
Faces in colour
Memories abused
Reaching for heaven
Admission refused
Fighting to stay on the crest of the wave
Worshiping failure
Emotional slave
Swimming in circles
Treading deep water
Old romantic
Moth to the slaughter
