TR Jones Poems

I sit here over a couple of beers
I sit here over a couple of tears
Looking back over my short life
All I see is myself falling to strife
...

I'm trying to find that smile
The one I haven't seen in a while
That smile that I now can only see in dreams
The smile that never came to my screams
...

I
Riding on the trial
Where I won't have to bail
Riding on the street
...

Girls bathroom, under water
Not a son, but a daughter
Facing backwards, upside down
Inside out, underground
...

Tonight we lay here together
Where I want to stay forever
And with a smile and a kiss
I am sucked deep into this
...

This garden I just could not enter
Who knew what would lie in the center
I raddled the gate
But it kept to my fate
...

What does the future hold
Something that can not be told
Is it something so very scary
Or is it something that is quite merry
...

Why do I keep playing this horrible game
It is definitely not tame
Because it constantly abuses me
Refuses to set me free
...

I just cant say no
This won't work I know
I want to go the other way
I don't want to stay
...

Is it possible to like you more
Then I watch you walk out that door
Now I'm here all alone
All we can do is talk on the phone
...
