The End.
if you're looking for the old me
well I'm missing him too
the passion that helped me stand up
added to the words that I could say
some things go by in a moment
and they can never be replaced
at times I sit and wonder
was it all what it seemed?
maybe just the angst
of a frustrated teen
we had the same drive
creativity we did great things
you took that dream
and sold it for pennies on the dollar
said it was the right thing to do
but when it's wasn't for me, or you
then who the fuck was it for?
seems to me you lost your way
little miss "fake it till you make it"
a good example of what not to do
seeing you these days
I hold contempt
saying you want to reconcile
yet you start out the conversation
not with a "I'm sorry"
but accusations
like I should own up to everything
and say you were the perfect angel
not gonna happen
but I will say thank you
we had some great memories
unfortunately those days are gone
there's just no going back
when we were younger
we fought our way out the gutter
with no help from family or friends
then it became all about the drama
enough to make a young man scream
said goodbye to make it right
now that I have moved on
you want to come back piss poorly
I wish I could shake you
tell you "grow the fuck up!"
the only thing we agree on
is that this is the end
and I'm fine with that
well I'm missing him too
the passion that helped me stand up
added to the words that I could say
some things go by in a moment
and they can never be replaced

Thank you. I have always been a fan of music so I try to have a bit of a lyrical style.

Hey there :)
Your poetic voice always powers me up, DC!
I am always impressed with your ability to be so open and beautifully raw; how you word your poems (lyrics) in terrific exactness and strength. I really enjoy that heft you bring... To me, it's potent and I learn a lot about gumption by reading you.... thanks a ton for that, my friend - 🙏🏻

That's a great compliment. For me it's one of the greatest compliments. To hear anyone could take away anything from my poetry is what it's all about .
Thank you for the read, friend. Very much appreciated 😁

You have such a powerful voice, which is able to cut through the BS and paint the wall with blood of the past bringing back memories of that incredible passion and drama, frustration and anger, or sadness and emptiness, we felt as teenagers and onward. Or memories of far worse things that happened during that time trying to find solace in someone else, who is tormented by their own demons. Possibly just to peer deeper into the abyss... Sometimes passion burns us to the ground and it's claws grasp us so tightly trying to keep us from being reborn and moving forward.
