I'm experimenting with a new poem type.
trying to sound more lyrical...
thoughts? comments? does this sound lyrically good at all ?
I’m homeward bound but I don’t know
Where I am walking lost and found
Where no one gives a damn
(Could you give a damn?)
It’s lonesome, this small town
These soles so worn, and their souls torn
Where are we? They walk the street
Passing each other silently, such brevity
Ghosts haunting those living shells
Can you tell? Could you tell?
The windows are shuttered, nobody’s home
They’re all drifting, set to roam
Where are we? Can you see? Could you please?
I’m homeward bound but I don’t know
Where I am walking lost and found
Where no one gives a damn
(Could you give a damn?)
It’s lonesome, this small town
Let’s play a game of 21
Cards or booze, now what’s your take
Weary eyes make great mistakes
When we decide to perpetrate; such great mistakes...
Faces and aces show, but who’s to say you won
When you’re the next hit and run?
Broken glass and loaded guns
empty chambers filled to shatter, all that matters
I’m homeward bound but I don’t know
Where I am walking lost and found
Where no one gives a damn
(Could you give a damn?)
It’s lonesome, this small town
Rain reveals the hollow man, a hollow man
Where he stands, he understands
skies reflect the scene below, seeming to know
a storm’s coming, are you coming?
I think it’s time to leave, don’t grieve, just think
pull the plug, i'm no gravedigger
They can tend my plot, this sorry lot
This town’s gone cold, nothing matters, all in tatters
I’m homeward bound but I don’t know
Where I am walking lost and found
Where no one gives a damn
(Could you give a damn?)
It was lonesome, that small town
no one stays, we walk away, so far away
