Time stands still when you walk in the room
But only because what follows is gloom
I really love the scent of your perfume
But your insults hit me like a sonic boom
With every step the walls they crack
I’m sitting waiting for your thwack
Against the wall I do fall back
I feel like I was hit by a Cadillac
In the corner I sit and whimper
My fragile bones they do splinter
I know it’s going to be a long cold winter
This gravel floor will be my inter
The knife you use will be serrated
My last breath will not be debated
I had no idea I was so hated
Until my death you wont be sated

Heavy and a bit dark. I really like the first two line 🙂

It was a bit of a struggle tonight, been a bit busy with other words, but they were good words 🙂

Love it and had a good laugh while reading. I wonder how it feels to be hit by a Cadillac… oh well
lostpropertyrepository
We don’t have a lot of Caddies in this country so I have to wonder as well 🙂

😀 I hope it wasn’t because of bad poetry. But kidding aside, I couldn’t be sated by this poem too, even when I like it very much. 🙂 Good job!
lostpropertyrepository
Thanks The poem obviously needs work but I’m not sure I want to it stands as a reminder not everything works 🙂
sandstarsblog
O, it works. It totally works, don’t worry about that 🙂 Thanks!
lostpropertyrepository
Thanks 🙂 I actually had a different first line for it but I had to take it out because even I couldn’t go into the darkness that was heading 🙂

Your lost property is a mysterious quality, she said, her curiosity always tweaked by your writing.
lostpropertyrepository
Thanks. 🙂 I like being mysterious but I just have a tendency to dwell in the dark. for near on 15 years I spent my life in the dark, getting up at 10pm and going to bed at 12pm

I should have had a night job. I can never sleep till about five to seven in the morning. Different reasons.

I used to think I was a night owl, now I realise I’ve screwed sleeping up for the rest of my life.

Join the club. You meet the best owls at night.

I used to meet a lot of drunks
rugby843
never said they weren’t interesting.
lostpropertyrepository
Some drunks are but the ones who think they can stop a moving truck like Superman aren’t
rugby843
Yikes!

They make themselves hard to see too because most of the idiots where black.

lostpropertyrepository
I see the light?

Replies to comments don’t come through unless I visit your site. Tried some smileys, they don’t work even here!
So I’ll be “visiting” frequently – overnight accommodations nearby? ; )

There is a sleeper on the back of the truck, just knock before you enter you might catch me in one of my 45 min slumbers 🙂
