sleeping & waking

by Drifter - Not entered


born without a friend
my best story failed
listened to my father
but he was soon jailed
carried the load
for my addicting brother
soon found out
that there is no other
deciding on suicide
I fell from the chair
called my mother
but she didn't care
sleeping and waking
looking at the ceiling
seeing all the pictures in my head
sleeping and waking
looking at the wall
watching it move
and seeing it fall
feeling like an astronaut
lost towards the sun
born without a friend
and not feeling any love
born without a friend
and carrying a gun
pointing it at the floor
when I couldn't point it at my head anymore
born without a friend
that died before we could speak
before we could reason
or before we could meet
sleeping and waking
looking at the wall
and talking to my silhouette
that's carrying a gun
and pointing to his head

(c) David Waite 1998
