You said all of about 10 words to me. Althought I was not too much better. Most of the time I just listened to you breathing and the static the distence made. When you did speak you sounded far away unlike the other times. There was so much I wanted to say! But only small talk passed my lips. I wonder if I still love you. (I wonder if I ever truely loved.) Os this the way love feels? Hallow and empty? If it is I want out! When I walked back for the payphone My heart sank. It cried out in silent deperation. I need the old you back! The one who said he loved me. I don't think it was ever true, now you don't even bother with the lies. As I walked back, the night was beautiful. You used to be beautiful to me. (Now your like a monster almost.) I shut my eyes creating an even better darkness within me. I wanted to be there. At that moment this world, this life felt so awful. I felt numb. Maybe that's all I am; A mound of flesh. I pour myself into thos romance novels, and wonder is love really that great? Could I ever be loved like that? (It feels impossible.) I pour myself into all those books I read Mostly to get out of my life. I'd rather live in a fake world. Instead of this one I'm in. So as I lie on my bed, I wonder if this is how love feels. There are so many questions but the one that seems to feel the deepest is: Is this how love feels? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 14:07:46 -0500 From: Courtney M Gordon Subject: ET: update This is for anyone who cares, it's about the murder of the homeless man that i had posted about yesterday.

Anyway, I feel guilty by just sitting here, without throwing in my work (sort of that "produce before you consume" thing) Anyway, I no longer write.. Though once upon a time I did write, but I had to cease, because it did not feel right, and I did not feel my stuff was good (well, like most poets, I thought it was Really good, but feared that the rest of the world did not share in that thought....) Anyway, I dug up some of it, and I'll randomly pick a few....... enjoy (or delete, some of this is horrendous.) rowdy 3/4/97 You don't know me... you never did... We thought we; No, I thought we knew love. Nay, no we did not. I let my virgin heart lead me blindly... My virgin heart... Did you mean, did you want to break it? My innocense... Did you intend to steal it? I wanted love, commitment... Someone to come home to every night, someone to share my life.... What did you want? My name on a list? A notch on your bedpost? I allowed you to touch, no I allowed myself to touch you ... foolishly.... I've lost so much, but I didn't give it to anyone... Only ghosts of the past.... - ------------ Missing Her Patience has never been one I would consider a friend. But of late we have sat close together Sorrow, too has hitched a long, long ride in my pocket and her brother, Heartache, hangs around. We've been sitting here looking at him look at you. Seeing your long blond hair running through his hands hurts. We used to be such good friends, but for some reason you've run away to him. We used to play fetch and you would lay down, sit up or roll over... Rover I miss you!!!!!! - --- As I was writing that, an ex of mine read the first part, and thought it was about her (she liked to hurt me) so, never one to give her satisfaction...... ________________________ 7/29/95 Is the world really at an end?... Has the pollution destroyed all living creatures in the air land and sea? Tell me, was it war? Perhaps this is that dreaded nuclear winter... Maybe it was the sun... did the sun die? Did it die and leave only ice? I was only wondering.... Because you said our love would last forever, or until the end of time. - ------------------------------ Without Life 12/21/94 Love is so much like a long bloody knife, it is sharp, and for sure has a double edge Love can save, and yet end a sweet life, it is what makes men jump from the building ledge I am or once was a poet I would write of other's pain, I saw it, and I wrote it, but never was my love slain. Now I'm standing in the cold rain My life is drowning in a sea of tears Aye, my love has gone bad, my life is torn and broken The words were never spoken, all more's the pity on me, for she just slipped away without a reason, without goodbye As I write these lines, I sigh I loved her as i loved life, I thought she loved me too I gave her all that I had Aye, Suren love is sad, and it does cut like a knife, When our sweet love went bad I lost my love for life. _______________ Years Ago 3/17/93 Years ago, when she wasn't well known, I knew her well, yes sir We were together, she was my very own... yes, I used to know her. We could've stayed together, but I had a bridge to burn, instead of swallowing my pride, I made sure the fire burned low Now everytime I see her on stage I start to learn That we could have been together, but that was years ago When I knew her, my life was filled with love, The seeds of love... those we did not sow, I was her paladin, she was my god above. she used to love me, but that was years ago. She took to the stage, I took to the pen... it has been that way for some time... I loved her from the word go. She made it big, I have to fight for every dime, but that was years ago. Years later was when this was written I live in the streets, its been years since i've used a fork. I still write for scraps, my only friend is a small kitten, I write ballads and poems, I get food for my work. _________________- There, one for every year....... (as you laugh, keep in mind that some of these were written when I was 15... anyway...) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 21:01:55 GMT From: "cymbaline 76" Subject: ET: any bass players? Hey everyone, I play guitar, I have been for about one and a half years. I'm not that bad, conisering I learned about 70% by teaching myself. However if I ever start playing in a band, I'd be willing to make the transition to playing bass, if they're was a much better guitar player than I. (I play rhythym). Roger Waters made that transition when Syd Barrett joined the Pink Floyd. (before that, it was the Abdabs, and Waters played guitar) Waters is one of my biggest musical influences. But I was wondering if anyone knows how Bass is compared to guitar. I might want to start saving up for a bass, whether or not me and my friend start a band (like we've been talking for the past 2 years), and just playing both. Any one have any advice/tips/suggestions? Thanks, Kelly _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
