This poem is by Christopher Michael Collins
Untitled 1
Are you up at two a.m.
doing things you shouldn't do
thinking of things
that never should have been
And the limelight's faded
leaving you in shadows of strange hues
waiting to awaken
from the dream your life has been
None of this will have meaning
if you didn't listen
to what I said
and in sixty seconds you'll forget it
and in sixty years we'll
both be dead
There's no wondering what this place is
and there's no wondering where I stand
I'm at the ledge that drops you off
into the company of the damned
