Have you

peto

Have you ever felt raindrops race tears down your face 

Got thrown out of a heart without leaving a trace 

Been convinced all you are's a complete waste of space 

Found yourself in a world of fright 

 

Have you ever been so low above lies the floor 

Self imploded from trying to stifle your roar

Suffered all you can take then return for some more 

Booked the flight when you know you should fight 

 

Have you ever been willing unable to dare 

Suffocated by breathing in putrified air

Bought the cushion to match your electrified chair 

Plugged it in settling down for the night 

 

Have you ever been in the wrong place the wrong time 

When all reason is lost all that's left is the rhyme 

Digging out of the basement with mountains to climb 

Shook off feelings still tourniquet tight 

 

Would you ever allow me to take your sweet hand 

To a place where the sun kisses toes in the sand 

Instantly you'd receive the respect you command 

On our first fated magical night

        Being human, we tend to push the bounderies, and that usually brings its own problems.
        Mind you, sometimes being in the wrong place can change your life for the good.
        Usually you just get shot though.

            Beautiful read Stevie, it flowed effortlessly.

            "To place where the sun kisses toes in the sand"

            Such a stunning visual for a finish.

              What a sight for sore eyes Maxine
              Great to see you
              Kind as ever
              Hope you bring your pen next time
              You are missed very much
              Hope all is well
