New (Permanent) Net Poster - I would really like opinions of this....


	Sometimes...
	    Late at Night
		As I Lie Awake in Bed
	Thru the Darkness
	    Comes a Light
		That Shines Above My Head.

	And When I Peer
	    Into the Glare
		Tho' I Have to Squint to do it
	I See All the Sadness
	    That I've Caused
		From My Life's Start on Through it

	I Close My Eyes
	    But it's Too Late...
		For it's Already Seeped Inside
	The Glare is Gone
	    But the Pain Goes On
		For There's Noplace Left to Hide

	All My Nightmares
	    Come Before Me
		With All My Hidden Fears...
	Blood Runs Down
	    Inside My Eyes
		The Blood of All My Years

	But the Warmth is Reassuring...
	    And the Taste is
		Oh! So Sweet!
	So I Lash Out
	    At Those I Love
		To Tear Them From Their Feet

	With this Thought
	    The Inner Light
		Softens, and Slowly Dies
	And I Roll Over
	    My Back to the World
		And Silently I Cry.
