Rich Downes Poems

Difficulty when low transpired
Difficulty when seeing every cup
Difficulty when getting fired
Difficulty when to act further tough
...

I wanted to be rid of all strain
Or be someone so admired
But I guess that's something I cannot say
How my heart isn't yet fired
...

Oh now you'd did not know that I had cried
I wanted you to keep my soul alive
Bet you're messing with this old fate
...

For I'm feeling queasy
But I know that's nothing new
A memory of blue
Now I dunno who to even yet be
...

For you leave me with the doom
It seems that I'll be just every loon
And not said
Timing was always the strain
...

Gone with such empty devotion
Guts are filled with doubt
But I know you don't do any respect
For you leave this town
...

Dab the pains away in this old eon
Not new.
Help fight against blue!
...

Sweet nothings under the old tree
You're everything I want you to be
Running low on my self-control
It's your heart I long to find and explore
...

A lone kind of drug
Love just bugs
Denying why you always stun
Only to now frown
...

A memory brings back that feeling which is such a shame
Lie about the ways that I cannot begin to pay
But even now I'm still falling
Like the way you go when I'm never free
...
