Without you
I'm just trying to get through a day
Without you
I'm just trying to get on the train
Without you
I'm just trying to walk down the street
Without you
I'm just trying to stay out of the heat
Got you stuck in replay
Your lips on mine
Our legs entwined
I'm just caught in your sway
What do I have to do
To get you out of my head
What do I have to do
To keep you out of my bed
Without you
I'm just trying to get home
Without you
I'm just trying to make my way
Without you
I'm just trying to be alone
Without you
I'm just trying to pray
Got you stuck inside me
Digging your nails into my veins
Spilling out on the sidewalk like rain
I'm going fast can't you see
Where will I go
That you can't follow
Where will I go
And not be swallowed
Without you
I'm just trying to breathe
Without you

Beautiful, sad, and true to the human condition of falling in love and not always getting what I want.
i think this is one of your best poems ever, Rambler. It sounds like a song.
...some relationships have the capacity to last years beyond the actual end of them...don't they. one of my exes left his mark which not only stained my soul but bled onto every other aspect of my life. Wahhh... every stinkin' day for years, unintentional thoughts and impressions, wondering what would he think about whatever. I think if I had just admitted to myself that I missed him and dealt with it on a cognitive level, maybe wrote a poem or whatever, i would have been able to move on with the other human stains of life. ugh...
but that's a beautiful poem, Rambler. Life oughta be sloppy, Joe.
For once you live up to your press. No, honestly the last few poems were incredible. Original, non-obvious, and compelling. You've come to a point where your stuff needs a bigger audience. I don't know whether technorati is that (the site is unfortunately badly arranged).
Now all you need to do is die in some tragic way and you'll be immortalized.
better if you just stayed on and get ripe.
