Listening to: SlipKnoT-Vermillion pt. 2
Feeling: ambitious
Okay, so I wrote some poems. But I'm not a normal poem writer so you'll have to tell me if they're worth continuing.
This one's called High:
I was high…
Higher than the sun in the sky
But through the haze I wondered why
You were standing there
Watching me
Without a care
You were high…
Higher than the sun in the sky
And I bet that you wondered why
I shot you down
I shot you down
With just one round
It makes me cry…
Oh yes…
I wish I could die…
Oh yes…
So every time that I’m high…
Oh yes…
I wait as the minutes creep by…
Oh yes…
And you know…
Everything I didn’t know
But you still ask me those questions, Oh
And I wish that this weren’t so
But it is so I’m gonna let go
Goodbye
Goodbye to the sun in the sky
Goodbye to the questions and “why?â€
Because I don’t know
And this one's called Dream Singer:
Mineral water in the quick of the evening
Even the deepest sleepers can hear you singing
And as your voice floats softly into our heads
We rise and dance serenely around our beds
You fill the glass and you return to your slumber
But though we rest, the songs won’t go under
And this sweet serenade pervades our sleep
We try to wake you, but your trance is too deep
All of us know that when you do go
You always return
And all of us feel
That when our wounds will not heal
You can take away the burn
We trust you fully
But we ask that you hurry
For when you awake,
Our lives will be saved
Then you’ll sound your sweet voice
And we’ll dance with rejoice
The gala will grow
Until no one will know
How this started.
And this one's called Phone Love:
I went in my room
To be alone
But was startled by a ring
From the telephone
I jumped from my seat
The phone to greet
And heard a gentle voice say
Hello
I knew right away who it had been
And my face lit up with the most enormous grin
It was a friend of mine come to spend some time
Over the telephone
He was a romantic young guy
With a spark in his eye
And in mind always had
A song or two
He’d sing them aloud
Carry me away on a cloud
And set me down
Right back here on the ground
When he was done
We’d talk and what fun
To chatter about the things
We both liked
For hours we’d run
And it wasn’t much fun
To see the phone bill
At the end of the month
But I never thought about it
It never crossed my mind one little bit
And as I listened oh so closely
I had a feeling I was in love
And this one's called Revenge to Me:
You were such a dream
But dreams fall apart
And you were one of the ones that do
So now that you’re shattered
I’d like to say, “Ha…ha.â€
You thought you could play me
Wrap me around your finger
And make me engage in your games
And you never thought about resistance
You never thought about the possibilities
Of me rebelling and overcoming your strengths
Over me and my mind
And over my actions
But I did gather the power
To act against you
To stop you
To trap you as you trapped me
And I wanted to torture you
Like you tortured me
And hurt you like you hurt me
And make you plead and cry
And want it all to end
So I did everything to pull you down
And I did
And as you lay there miserable
All I have to say is, “Ha…ha.â€
So there you have it. Some poems I wrote. And it's just my first stab at it really, not unless you count the things I sent in to AMS-LIT-MAG. But I would appreaciate some opinions. I mean I could get better off of them. Who knows. Well outtie.
