This is the point
where I’m myself once again
The point when, no matter what
I’ve said our goodbyes yet again
Despite the words that you might say
I’ve scavenged my pain with my pen
Tomorrow’s call? Nowhere to go?
Could we’ve been better off back then?
The questions you wouldn’t answer
Choices we failed to make before
Between a dream that can’t come true
& a life we won’t fight for
A soothing lie or painful truth,
A fatal peace or eternal war
’cause this is the point
Where you’re free to be yourself, once more
The point when nothing holds you back
But yourself – crowns & masks you wore
This is the point of no excuses
For things we never even tried
For every light kept jealously
Until we let it die inside
For our fear to understand
& unwillingness to confide
How could you let us be so cold
A world that we shared, to divide?
Why couldn’t we just let go?
You’ve never tried, neither have I
Only to get as far as the point
Where we go our separate ways
Such a bitter tale unfinished
To learn it was all just a phase
A story trapped in a sidewalk painting
a void forever’s where it stays
N.B.

It seems no matter how far out of mind we put these tales we still wonder how they should end. Great write Nebojsa!
interesting that you say that.. it’s a story of something I’ve almost forgotten for a while, but it came back in a strange way.. thanks for stopping by 🙂
Damn, Man.
Your pen never let’s me down.. Ever.
So many memorable verses..
But I’m going here;
“Between a dream that can’t come true
& a life we won’t fight for
A soothing lie or painful truth,
A fatal peace or eternal war”
Oh, my gahd! Too much 🔥🔥🔥
suggestions? something you didn’t like? lol i’m desperately searching for that..
thanks for the comment tho.. means a lot 🙂
Such a bittersweet tale of time shared. Painful but much can be learned from
such experiences. I’d go for painful truth any day, and that fatal peace will eventually
turn into soothing peace. Amazing work!
“A soothing lie or painful truth,” “A fatal peace or eternal war”
thanks for reading… glad you like it 🙂
I loved the “Between a dream that can’t come true & a life we won’t fight for” line as much as the next fellow. This is solid gold picked up from a river only you know. But in my opinion, humble opinion, you wrote the perfect stanza there:
This is the point of no excuses
For things we never even tried
For every light kept jealously
Until we let it die inside
For our fear to understand
& unwillingness to confide
Everything is perfect about it, what is told, how you tell it and how it sounds. This is gonna stay in my mind. That’s the great thing about you, you share your gold.
I share my misery as well .. because honestly, I don’t really like this one.. I don’t think it’s bad, I just wasn’t really happy with the fact that I wrote it… but it’s too late now xD
what you said, though, makes me question my opinion.. thanks for the review 🙂
You got me confused. What is there not to like about this piece?
I guess the history of the events I described..
You can dislike the events and yet write about it. It might as well be a good thing. You did it beautifully.
And by doing so you give to others.
Maybe it’s not clear but I am really glad you wrote that piece.
I knew you’d gonna say that.. that’s why I didn’t delete it.. I do dislike it in a way, but it can’t make me appreciate it less… oh & you know how thankful I am for the comments 🙂
