Like I was never here

Ever felt like dying you was so alone
A gift and a curse being independant and full grown
I have a house to call my own
but not a home
Just a place where I sleep at and talk on the phone
So I write myself to sleep
Write myself away
Bury myself in a composition casket, is where i lay
And I hope I never wake up
Until somebody say
Hey I really miss Sco, I wish he never went away
But now Im gone and its too late
2:56 in the morning, the time just pass away
My pen just write away
The ink seem to make all the white just fly away
Guess Im on a period
Its that time of day
Where the words flow like blood and I just write and write away
Baby if you say you love me do more than say
You gotta show it to me
Somehow SomeWay
Baby lay it up before I fadeaway
I swear to god I’ll fade a way
Like I was never here

Well I’m depressed too, could someone cook me up a massive feed and sit and chat and laugh with me? LOL

Great poem, Sco, they have that rawness to them which speaks to the heart in all of us.
