UNTITLED (still incomplete)

Walking down these concrete streets

I can see the glittering windows

and the twinkling lights of the playwrites' stages.

I can see the brilliant diamonds

and the perpetually smiling of well groomed faces.

Out here in the city where the sun don't set

where when the clouds shed rain you still don't get wet.

Where all it takes to make a good man rich

is a little bit of work and a suit well stitched.

And I've got my penthouse and my own Monet

but there's still something missing at the end of the day.

So one of these days when the sun comes up

I'm going to make my mind to let things drop

I'm going to take the stairs up onto the roof

And make a leap to the Heavens with a wish to be with you.

It started off as this:


...jump off one of these skyscrapers and runaway, 
three sheets to the wind
until I can wrap my arms around you
because to me you mean... everything.


Which I think... is much more romantic and actually catches the essence of it mildly while the other one seems to have made it trite. *sigh* I guess I'll have to work on it more later, probably after finals....
