A POEM BY Nicodemus FROM THE POETRY ROOM I thought you were stronger I didn't even understand today I know I was wrong I'm taking no more demand today's the day for finding out where the road begins to wind now I know what you're all about I'm taking no more of this unkind..... Sure she shot enough of me not changing the way I feel trying to make a fool out of me well I've about had enough you see the death of this is just a game no nails to build what's torn I'll be stronger next time around she's gonna have to stop draggin' me down...... You put my heart in quarantine I wish we could be like before this feels like a hammer coming down on me...... If I ran away I'd never have the strength to go very far...... How would she hear the beating of my heart...... If I could only find the words and I would write it all down.... If I only had a voice I would speak.... It's there in my eyes and it's all I can say.... It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart It's running silent and angry and deep..... I've been trying for hours trying to think of what exactly to say I thought I'd leave her with a letter or a firey speech like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play..... I can't laugh I can't cry I can't see inside of me I don't know the reasons why..... I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up to a scream we'll let the past slip away and put the future on hold now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream...... I don't know what it is, but it just won't quit..... How can a light that burns so brightly suddenly burn so dim...... Bright eyes....burning like fire..... A thousand years i've roamed this place to feel the warmth of her embrace.....
