Poetry Friday

GUNSLINGER
by Matthew Sanders, James Sullivan, Brian Haner Jr. and Zachary Baker

Yeah, you've been alone
I've been gone for far too long
But with all that we've been through
After all this time I'm coming home to you

Never let it show
The pain I've grown to know
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes
My heart's always with you now
I won't question why so many have died
My prayers have made it through yeah
'Cause with all these things we do
It don't matter when I'm coming home to you

Read the rest HERE.

"Gunslinger" isn't actually a poem, but a song about a soldier away from home by the rock band Avenged Sevenfold. I love poetry, and I love music. I love the rhythm and word choice of both. When I purchase a new CD, I always look to see if the lyrics are posted. It's like reading poetry! I am going to see Avenged Sevenfold (with Buckcherry and Papa Roach) tonight, so I thought I'd post one of the songs I will hear (and sing along to) tonight.
