Well I've had enough
Of these selfish crimes
I hurt myself again
Not knowing why
It seems so easy
To leave it all behind
And avoid the truth I think i'd rather just go blind
Then everything erupts
My life has come unglued
And the ties that bind have left me
What am I to do?
Cant seem to recognize
That stare behind those eyes
Who is this man I see?
Who's looking back at me?
Cant focus through the Grey
And I am fading into nothing
The reflection must get clearer
I think I'm cracking up
Like I've lost my mind
I hurt myself again
Still don't know why
I end up the same way
Each and every time
I cant avoid the truth
There's just nowhere to run and hide
Cant seem to recognize
That stare behind those eyes
Who is this man i see?
Who's looking back at me?
Cant focus through the Grey
And i am fading into nothing
The reflection must get clearer than it appears to be right now
There must be someone I can see....
There's got to be something for me.
Show it now, let it go free
I know it's here waiting on me.
et it out, let it go free
Cant seem to recognize
That stare behind those eyes
Who is this man i see?
Who's looking back at me?
Cant focus through the Grey
And i am fading into nothing
The reflection must get clearer
Author notes
This one is the song that inspired my poem "Behind These Eyes". Reflects on my tie to "Brandon" and my tie to my son...the distance and confusion between us...

I don't know poetry, but I know what I like
Good stuff. I wish I had the knowledge to emphasize on the finer points.
This:
Cant seem to recognize
That stare behind those eyes
Who is this man I see?
Who's looking back at me?
Cant focus through the Grey
And I am fading into nothing
The reflection must get clearer
The chorus I suppose, reminds me a lot of the end of my sophomore year. It was a big change for me. Keep on doing your thing my friend, you're good at it.
And thank you for the warm welcome

Good poem. This had a great flow and it made me think of how sometimes we may feel like we don't really know the people in our lives. Like, sometimes they may behave differently than they usually do and may seem like strangers to us. It reminds me of a few years ago when my parents seperated, it was like they became two totally different people. For awhile it was like I had lost my parents or something. Keep up the great work.

I know that feeling all too well. And I'm glad my son is so young for just that reason right now. I'm going through a seperation and I don't want him to remember the pain and fights and distress this causes me...that and i'm changeing drastically...Thanks so much for taking the time to write me a great comment **GRINS**

Wow, that was a great read. Though I really hate your font color. I love the chorus especially.
Oh, and is there a particular reason why you didn't use apostrophes, or captitalize your "I's"?

Stumbling
**laughs** I'll change the font it's kinda crappy ain't it? And as for the punctuationa nd what not...I was being lazy...**grins sheepishly** But thanks for the comment my dear PICKy friend...lol..you know im playing...I'll go back later and clean it up a bit.

don't give up
You feel unglued now but you CAN up yourself together again. At least, you know something's wrong. I'm not saying it's easy but you can do it. I've been there.

I'm trying my best not to give up. I've got a son i've got to raise and provide the best life possible for. But there are times...more often than not these days...that just bring me so far down it's almost as if I can longer see the light above me. But i'm fighting it...slowly but surely i'm fighting it!!!
