Author's um...involuntary rambling (I try to be creative): Ze song used is 'Everybody Hurts' by the gracious REM. I've come from the horrid wrath of exams to bring you the painful story of all my anger all my loving all my hurting all my emotion lacking wonderings that morphed into a story about Christian....isn't it amazing how that happens? (yeah, I try to be creative)


Everybody hurts
Sometimes

The years roll around
Like the drunks staggering down the alleyways
And he just sits at his window
Drinking, writing
Hardly ever sleeping
Trying to get those memories onto paper
Before they've faded too much

He wonders sometimes, half-heartedly
That when ones head is so full of memories
Things are bound to be forgotten
The curve of a jaw line, the sound of dancing
Heartbeat to heartbeat, a lover's rhythm
Hardly ever faltering
Something once took for granted
Now something non-existent

His fingers bleed from keystrokes
His face is hollow from neglect
His heart is blackened
Run out of blood to bleed already
Only his mind still glimmers
An old reel of film jagged and sketchy
Caught on repeat

The words he writes seem so foreign
Pieces of dreams from another life
Shredded photographs lying in fragments
And he is painstakingly fitting them back together
So the pictures lie immortalized again
Imperfect and corroded with age
Black and white, devoid of colour

And even when he's finished
When there are no more words to write
All the memories are satisfied
He will be no better, but perhaps worse
Words in ink will not serve as stitches
To mend all the broken parts of him
Hearts once broken, sometimes never heal

Sometimes,
Everybody cries
