Tired of asking questions that have no answers
Tired of finding cures for non existent cancers
Tired of missing a shrink that didn't listen to me
Tired of waiting for your hold to set me free
I am doomed to walk in your foot steps
Because I am not smart enough to run
Doomed to live by the moonlight
Because I can't stand to look at the sun
Don't want to end up like you
But know I will end up worse
Pisces daughter born to Pisces father
The ultimate Pisces curse
Wish I knew how to honor you
But you have proved that death is complete
Wish I had a magic wand
All our bad memories I would delete
But then that would delete you
And the link you have to me
Wish I could erase it all
So we'd both end up free
Tired of asking questions that have no answers
Tired of finding cures for non existent cancers
Tired of missing a shrink that didn't listen to me
Tired of waiting for your hold to set me free
I lie there on pillows stained by my tears
As your demons coach mine about [y]our fears
And I am torn between missing you and wanting to be free
Just wish the memories could stop haunting me

excellent poem, makes u think
hi, thx for applauding my poem. It's actually the first i've ever written. I'm so sry to hear about ur dad. I might not have lost a parent and can't even imagine what u must have been feeling and what ur feeling now but I have had a lot of death in my family and it does get better but not easier. trust me, the questions will go away but it takes a while. thank-you once again for your kind words.
ps
my uncle died of brain cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer. I want real cures too...

JayLynn, your poem carries a powerful message, neatly structured and rhymed into a song ... blueish, maybe, but still a song: of freedom. I sense that you are ready to break out - and soar.
Well done, dearest Heart.

Nice write
Hey JayLynn, Well let's see, I know I'm a Leo, I think my dad is a Tyrannosaurus or something. Oh I shouldn't jest, today's his 76th birthday... a great guy on the whole... wish you could have had a better/longer relationship with your dad. It's odd though... by the time my dad and I were finally seeing eye-to-eye, it was time for me to move on to attempt to establish a little independence. Say what you want about Republicans, but they do seem to be more oriented toward promoting stronger family values than the 'anything goes' Dems. I think we're going to see this played out in what promises to be an interesting election this year. I notice neither party is making decisive moves in this gay-maariage debacle in S.F. It's funny, tragic and thought provoking all at the same time. -
wonderful
i'm impressed -
Heart-felt and honest
This is a fabulous write, you've really opened up your soul to let us in. But hang on to the bad memories, they will make you a stronger person in the long-term. -
excellent
I am not a pisces born to a pisces father but WOW, this could be a piece about anyone who has had a traumatic life with their father, which is why I think it touched me so much.There is such endeniable emotion.so many powerful words and descriptive phrases;
These lines are the ones that make a connection to anyone;
And I am torn between missing you and wanting to be free
Just wish the memories could stop haunting me
I feel for you, but don't think you are going to be worse, you have a chance to be better and this you'll do as long as you believe in yourself........
