Hello, Despair
by Kourosh Taheri-GolvarziHello, Despair.
Do you mind if I crash out
at your place again tonight?
Yeah, she did it again.
No matter what I do,
I just can't make it right.
I can't take this bullshit no more.
Mindgames an' Flakes,
There's no way to even the scores.
Oh, what fools these mortals be.
Wise men of nothing have told me
to go see a whore.
I say, "no!", cuz there sure ain't
nobody here for me.
Yeah
Where is Relief?
It's been such a while
since we've gotten together an'
gone for broke.
Yeah, those were the days.
I miss all the fun cuz now
everything seems like a joke.
Oh, I say, where is Relief?
We went out to drink
an' that fucker still owes me one...
So, come on, Despair,
is it cool if I crash out
at your place again tonight?
I ain't liquered up,
an' it's pokin' at my pride.
Just one thing
I ask you, Despair,
before I do, cuz it looks
as though I'm still able to think,
an' you, too
let's go to the bar,
cuz we both could use a drink. 09/14/2005 Author's Note: meant to be a Blues song

| Posted by Kim Bennett on 09/19/05 at 02:44 PM I like the odd rhyme scheme. I also think the conversation is interesting. I'm not sure the break of "Yeah" fits, but I like it, actually. Feels more like a sigh. The line "Wise men of nothing have told me" is my favourite. |
