Beautiful affair
Bitter sweet agony
Will you always define me
Does the past go by
Or will I always be forced to hide

Thoughts run wild
Though the feelings take no stride
Understand the situation
Never been fully advised
On this thing called life

Take a deep breath
Inhale the smoke
I feel like dying
The calm no thoughts
Seems so appealing

Thoughts run wild
Though the feelings take no stride
Understand the situation
Never been fully advised
On this thing called life

Beautiful affair
Bitter sweet agony
Defining moment
Ones set in
Never forget
The values of it all
Before the initial thaw

Take another breath...
Feel the rush of air...
Slowly come out...
Of this forgotten trance..

Questions. Are there pauses between The calm - no thoughts -
Seems so appealing or am I just reading it wrong?
And in the 5th stanza is that Ones right or is it supposed to be once?

Have you set this to music or is it poetry? I'm listening to a live version of "Epitaph" by King Crimson and the tone of the music fits well with your piece. Nice job, btw.

Yep pause is correct, and is suppose to be "Ones", and it's more poetry than anything, but i definitely will have to check out this Epitaph song you speak of.

Thanks for the feed back.
