Just Standing There

This is a poem I wrote in 2008. I imagine all of my poetry to music, but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This one I imagine to a slightly modified version of I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2.

​Goodbye
My love
I'm on my way home

Ancient wheels
Ancient gears
Endless chain
Call out my name
In the sun
Hear my call
Give me all
Come on out
Let down your hair

But under those blood-stained skies
The light had scorched your eyes
And still you are just standing there
Still all you do is just stare

Over oceans
Over glaciers
To the moon
Feel the fall
In the snow
I get so cold
I get so old
Watching the world
Goodbye love

But under those blood-stained skies
The light had scorched your eyes
And still you are just standing there
Still all you do is just stare

While the rain cascades down your skin
And the rain drips from your hair
And still you are just standing there
Still all you do is just stare

I'm on my way home

But while you slept last night
The birds came and ate your eyes
And still you are just standing there
Still all you do is just stare

While the rain cascades down your skin
And the rain drips from your hair
And still you are just standing there
Still all you do is just stare

Mmmmm all you can do is stare
