not a poem from me, but a song from Josh Pyke called ‘bones’………………….
Well i bet you keep your bones inside,
I bet you lock your doors at night,
But it don’t mean nothin’ to me now.i bet you like the candle light,
The way it flickers on the walls alright,
But it don’t mean nothin’ to me.
I can see it’s a lie, i can see it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie.
It’s in the look in your eye, and the lay of the land and the sweat on your hand.
It’s on the tip of my tongue now.
I can tell it from a mile away,
And i don’t hear a single word you say,
But it don’t mean nothin’ to me now.
Did she do it all again,
I’m not lookin’ just to see an end,
But it don’t mean nothin’ to me.
See the elevator come undone
It’s fallin’ faster past the things you wanna become now
Check it as the colours fade,
You settle back into the grey,
But it don’t mean nothin’ to me now
 "lullaby")
