Have You Ever Poem by sammie kelley

Have You Ever



Have you ever heard the lonesome moan of a midnight train
Felt that burn from whiskey the numbness of cocaine?
You ever leave when you really wanted to stay?
Without looking back start down life's last highway?

You ever see the world through the bottom of a glass?
Turn your cares to smoke taste the smoothness of hash?
You ever had that monkey on your back?
Wear long sleeves to cover the tracks?

You ever been a number and not a name?
Hold back tears and hang your head in shame?
Did you ever exist to hear your name called for mail?
Feeling sick or disappointed sitting in a six by eight cell?

You ever been haunted by a ghost from the past?
Reflect back on life only to realize nothing can last?
Do you think you ever cross her mind?
Or are you just a bad memory she'd rather leave behind?

So tell me have you ever really lived with sorrow?
Carried a burden steal beg borrow?
Did you leave when you knew you should stay?
Just another fool starting down life's last highway.

They say the eyes are the window to the soul,
Lost was found two halves make a whole
Meaning was empty life seemed incomplete
Like my missing piece entwined in fate bound to meet.

This separation isn't final a minor set back only for a while
If time is prison than love stands trial
Bonds are stretched but hearts are loyal
A road less traveled riddled with snags and toil

A little of me expressed with verbs
Trying to tell you how I feel through my words
All my emotions and feelings flowing from my pen
Pouring my heart on paper mixing ink with sin.

Memories of you laying naked in bed
Close my eyes its your voice I hear in my head
Yesterday whispers a past layed to rest
The future hold love
TIME IS ONLY A TEST
