Description

Foreword

"The Final Cut" -Pink Floyd
 

Through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
and far from flying high in clear blue skies
i'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide 
if you negotiate the minefield in the drive
and beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
and if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
dial the combination.

Open the priesthole
and if i'm in i'll tell you what's behind the wall, 
there's a kid who had a big hallucination
making love to girls in magazines
he wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
could anybody love him
or is it just a crazy dream 
and if I show you my dark side,
will you still hold me tonight
and if I open my heart to you
and show you my weak side,
what would you do?

Would you sell your story to rolling stone?
would you take the children away
and leave me alone
and smile in reassurance
as you whisper down the phone?
would you send me packing
or would you take me home?

Thought I oughta bare my feelings
thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut

Chapter 1: I was pending on whether or not I should read this story. I'm going through some really though times and I felt like cutting myself, but I didn't. I cried myself to sleep, and prepared myself for today, the day i go back to school from the weekend off. The day I go back to being alone. The day i go back to pretending that my life is ok, when in reality, it's not.
I read the story though, and it was very nice. I felt like it captured a lot of emotion and I agree with Shawol360 about there being a bigger story involved. Anyways, thank you so much for writing this story because for some reason, it made me feel better knowing that i'm not alone in this world and yeah...

Chapter 1: How sad. And I can tell there is another story there that isn't being told, but whatever it is, it has lead him to this place and that's the double tragedy.
