Author's Note: My poem is a song today.
Published on September 10, 2005 By Death_By_Beebles In Poetry
Things are running down again
you can feel the pressure building up
don't give up now, don't give up now
and trust

that when matches burn
to ashes all your hopes and dreams
and loves
that I will be here for you
that I will be here for you
when you fall down and can't get up
when you can not be found,
I will come and find you
I will come and find you.

You gave up all your greatest fears
to jump head first in chance
and sometimes part of living
is falling when you try to dance

so when matches burn
to ashes all your hopes and dreams
and loves
I will be here for you
I will be here for you
when you fall down and can't get up
when you can not be found,
I will come and find you
I will come and find you.

Lift your bloody hand up high
and show the world you can not die
it's amazing, amazing

Don't give up, that's all I ask
you weren't born to wear a mask
amaze me, amaze me

And know... please know,

that when matches burn
to ashes all your hopes and dreams
and loves
that I will be here for you
that I will be here for you
when you fall down and can't get up
when you can not be found,
I will come and find you
I will come and find you.


Inspired by a line from "Only Ashes" by Something Corporate.

I am so glad I decided to take a look at your site today. This really beautiful, Alex. You should find someone to put music to it. Whoever this person is that you speak of is very lucky to have you care.
