Vegard,
Hmm. It looks like you are turning into one of my favourite forum poets, so I'll refrain from the usual "I like it".
I wonder? Was this intended to be a song? Either way, well, you know....
Linda.

, I'm very glad you liked it!
Was it intended to be a song.. Not intended but perhaps some day it might. I am just learning to play the piano
On another note, I recieved a copy of "The Leonard Cohen Anthology" the other day.

I can play "One of us cannot be wrong"

The mud splashes heavy
Beneath my shoes
Concrete towers
And even the trees look grey
From my point of view
I don’t miss you
I don’t think about you
You don’t exist
You don’t request
I can live without you
The streets are flooded
Forgotten dreams and old memories
Pollutes the town at night
Vile shadows rise among the corners
Tearing nightmarish holes
In the dim streetlight
I don’t miss you
I don’t think about you
You don’t exist
You don’t demand
I can live without you
Just wandering the nightly shore
Searching for a mail-box
Somewhere to post
A letter that’s been keeping me down
Assigned only
To a ghost
I don’t miss you
I don’t think about you
You don’t exist
You don’t require
I can live without you
discovering that some writing here could possibly be turned into a decent song is a critical breakthrough for me. I no longer feel the need to point out "poetry" that is uninspiring and contains uninspired or overworked imagery.
so, vergard, I hope you turn this into a song!
best of luck

Well, that's good news! All tanned and rested, are we?

WOW that is brilliant. I hope you make it a song could see it being a mantra for those forgetting a bad relationship. On a personal not I like it when poems/songs are not gender specific this could easily be a man or woman. Just makes me love it even more.
Cheers thanks for sharing
