Gallows

1 min read
Gallows Somewhere they’re building a gallows for me In the hollowed out halls of gaol, Or the Supreme Court of South Carolina. In a place where you can catch a glimpse of heaven, If you close your eyes tight enough. The day and night of me screams Out phrases I learned in that empty cradle you built for me. Down by the marshes, down by the salted sea, And it’s too warm to be this cold In the center of my soul. Sooner or later the hangman will call my name, And I’ll be free of the hard won guilt and the sharpened shame. I’ve evaded it more times than I care to remember. Waiting here in vain for the coal to become an ember, While the day and night of me whimpers, And walks wide eyed into the soft supple silence… DavidFloyd©2022 “No words can tell of the loneliness and despair I found in that bitter morass of self-pity. Quicksand stretched around me in all directions. I had met my match. I had been overwhelmed.” - Anonymous

Harrowed

I sense her presence in the midst of another forgotten day As I skip my heart across the River like a skimming stone I hear her voice in distant dark corners of empty rooms Where I watch my emotions gather like a flock of wandering ghosts I catch the mirror reflection of her eyes in a stolen moment While cutting through another layer Of this exquisite existence Somewhere in southern sunsets I steel my soul For these verdant visitations This excruciating elegance This harrowed heartache DavidFloyd©2022 “I see you got your place all cleaned up now Must be nice to have me out, I know you're finding hairs on the mattress and stuff I left a few things over there, maybe I could keep them there I'm sorry it got rough 'Cause I, I realize what I screwed up I love you baby, what we had it was good enough”- Lilly Hiatt

Rowesville(Better Days): Today I’m gonna walk down that street I’m going to cross those railroad tracks Past the big sign painted on The side of that old abandoned building A place that had seen better days You’re going to be there sitting On your momma’s steps, On that wooden front porch, Waiting on me. I’ve never had a better day The closer I get, The faster I’ll go, Pounding away Until my heart skips a beat To the tune of that better day. Like a princess from some Southern fairy tale, You stand up slowly and all at once, Everyone else in the world Will disappear, And we’re pulled together by the heat rising Between us on that better day Where will we go? Through the doorway into Each other’s hearts, There’s no place we’d rather be, No words need be said In the midst of that better day Tonight I’ll dream that shade tree Is still standing Along the fence by the road, I’ll see your sister and your brother Smirk and nod their heads, you’ll jump off those brick stairs And fall into my arms And we will melt together In the endless sunset of a better day DavidFloyd©2022 “Yeah and it's over before you know it It all goes by so fast And the bad nights take forever And the good nights don't ever seem to last And man, we never had the real thing But sometimes we used to kiss Back then we didn't understand What we were caught up in So, listen honey Wherever you are tonight I wish you the best of everything, in the world And, honey, I hope you found Whatever you were looking for” -Tom Petty ‘Best of Everything’
