FRESH CHEESE #4: "pain"

*FRESH CHEESE - poems I wrote when I was teen...

When I see you
I feel like my heart has seen eternity
I dream an escape from reality.

But after a while
I feel like it's crushed through the walls of death
I realize that we've never really met.

This pain seems stuck with me forever
Breathing the air that suffocates me
Is the only way that I could ever be.

This love that I bear stabs right through me
My knuckles bleed knocking through your door
These are the only things that I ask of:

Do you see me?
Do you hear my pulse whisper your name?
Sometimes I think it's so loud the fairies hear me rain...
Echoeing to the darkest corners of the world
And you, not even hearing a word that i say
For how long this will last, I could only guess..

"The Best of My Love" (The Eagles)

Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin
'to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart,
I give you the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin'..
You get the best of my love,
Oh sweet darlin'..
You get the best of my love..
I'm goin' back in time
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be alright
If i could go on sleepin'
But every mornin'
I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way
And I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn't enough
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love..
Oh sweet darlin'..
You get the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin'..
You get the best of my love
Every night and day
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'..
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'..
You get the best of my love..
