to be honest, with you

we wasted 
this world
like cigarette 
smoke wasted
smooth
family 
pearls
and this living room with a tv set
is full of wasted potential
and eventual regret
your bedroom lamp is out
the light is gone 
but it really never shined that bright to begin with,
to be honest

we will think about the days gone by, 
where the sun never went down
don't know why
and the moon set the standard for the shining stars
but we forgot our own standards 
where are we now?
limbo

i guess we can't wait
no point in hesitation
well behaved actions aren't actions at all
and you rarely hear people
who got nothin to say

i feel like i've written poems with a similar theme, i like this one a lot! nothing is permanent except for change

yeah if you look it rhymes...

it's supposed to be a song i think...

yeah i like it too... it's a slight departure from both the style of poems i write and the songs i used to write, but the latter is probably good. my songs aren't that good. lol
