WTF

when the world looks the other way as you hammer on its door
you sit up straight,take note and walk out of the door.

tell yourself its nothing, just some dirt on the floor
tell yourself you'll sweep it off and won't look out for more.

the hours won't keep up- oh darn, you sweat out in the park
they choose to crawl, remind you that its soon going to be dark.

and that is all your waiting for, its all you need to see
that what you've done must come undone, nothing comes for free.

and you can laugh and you can shrug and you can look to me
but you can't cry and you can't hide or go down on your knee.

so whats the good of playing this game if you can't let it be
whats the use of sharing pain if you won't come to me?

there never is another world where you would rather be
there never is a perfect she, no other quite like he.


Or is there?

Caught the title as I finished. Does make you wonder, doesn't it? Did you ever watch Bugs Bunny cartoons, and the way Daffy Duck would get part of his body or the surrounding scenery erased?

Sounds like this person is looking for perfection that doesn't exist, except for what is, who he is.

Hmm... I hope things are fine. Everyone is alive, eh?

Bohemian said...

its all about perceptions...

Inkblot said...

Mermaid: you perceptive woman, you...:)

rose: thank you

sg: are you aspiring towards a more obscure sense of humour than your usual? alive and kicking (emphasis on the latter) of course!

bohemian: now that's at the 'heart' of the matter..:P

san is of course right and it is cool to see that we both get a visit from rose.

this one has its spirits down in its boots but a 'i ain't beaten yet' feel.
you know i love your words and all your work but this should be set to music and the sound should be the blues and the voice should be howlin' wolf or maybe john lee hooker.

yes, it is that good.

The last couple lines kinda reminded me of "Good Will Hunting." Funny how art coalesces sometimes. Though yours is much more lyrical.

Inkblot said...

cj: do one for me sometime, with your guitar?

doc: why, thank you but have n idea what connection you made, although Matt Damon is a huge favourite...:)

aparna said...

Yeah, eff them all, eff the wtfs. No such thing as perfect.

I had a post titled WTF. Long back. Different subject though. :)
