Jason Rimbaud Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Another Light By: Jason Rimbaud From the moment I learned that love was a game I slept with the boys never knowing their names For money and then drugs I sunk so low It wasn't a life this existing out of control And when I found a one that wanted to hold I pushed them away forced them out in the cold I put up these walls and never let in Who needs a lover when drugs are my friend No matter how hard I was up for the flight Living my life in the shadows of light But then it all changed when you entered my life Soft spoken and honest you brought calm to the strife With you by my side all the pain fades away The drugs are forgotten with the coming of day You understood why the drugs numbed the pain And gave me the courage to step out of the rain So I tore down the walls so you could come in You're more than a lover and more than a friend There's something about you that feels so right Because of you I found love in another light Link to comment

colinian Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 A great poem, Jason. I don't need to say anything else. Another Light says it for itself. Colin Link to comment
Jason Rimbaud Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks Colin, I'm so stupidly happy right now. And Caylor, trust me, it's been years since I've written a poem like this. It surprised me, and I'm sure it surprised everyone on this site as well. Jason Link to comment
