The Dead Don't Sing

[iblieve]

The dead don’t sing
the dead don’t dance
never have time for romance.

The dead don’t laugh
the dead don’t cry
the dead don’t need to get high.

The dead don’t worry
the dead don’t fret
the dead are happy I bet.

But you and I
laugh and cry
we sing and dance
leading to romance
and we wonder why
we get high?
The strain breaks us
by and by.

So I wish I was dead.
I wish the eulogy was said.
I wish this pain was out of my head.
I wish the last poem was finally read.
****
I wish I was dead.

This seems like a pretty personal write, how true that though the dead don't feel joy they also feel no pain. It's a two sided coin and sometimes it's tough to know which side you want to be on. Firecracker. xx

Amen to that firecracker. After the mood he was in last night I think Ill take a pine box;) But, seriously...I do love this poem because it really relfects how I feel much of the time. Im tired of pain, tired, tired tired. But its going away. One day...maybe Ill be less broken and more whole. But for now, Ill let ya heal me up. I do so enjoy it:)
Love ya baby~Dandy

Dang. Sometimes life seems like a tidal wave, and we just want to crash against a cliff. But I'm glad you made it through my friend. Till a bitter (or hopefully better) end

I dunno :) The poem kicks ass, but I plan to do all sorts of crazy fun things once I'm dead..... including generate a few exorcisms here and there, so I can get some cheap laughs out of the catholic church. BTW, taking orders here for future hauntings, better sign up early before I get over-booked....!
