A poem (song) I wrote for a guy who was the thickest dolt I have ever met. He had no idea how much he hurt me.
just leave me in my
gum-dropped sadness.
forget me in my
sparkle-covered hate.
let me immerse myself in these
chocolate-coated tears.
in the morning, you won't know the difference.
you can lead your
perfect life
you won't be a stranger
you can have it all
but you keep getting stranger
(Alternate line: but tonight is my suicide)
so just leave me in my
gum-dropped sadness
let me sink into this
sparkle-covered hate
forget that i am drowning in my
chocolate-coated tears
in the morning, you won't know the difference.
i'm trying too hard
to be something i'm not
i've forgot what it was
to be me,
i answer to my name
deep inside i'm insane
and forget the face that covers me
i've no words
to shout
i've no lungs
to scream
i've no fists
to hit
i've no hopes
to dream.
so leave me in my
gum-dropped sadness
in the morning
you won't know the difference
.:the false life:.
i wish we could lie here
forever,
halfway between life and sleep,
a breath of affection staining
the motionless worlds between our nestled minds.
yet too soon does the
violent morning come,
spearing through our
closed eyelids
and recreating us into
the savage life we forgot for a night.
our lives tick by,
motionless between
a cup of coffee and
a half-read newspaper.
we try our best not to stare the other
down, and are
caught in the awkward
silence
of the moment.
no words. they are
not needed.
not yet.
not now.
not then.
maybe not ever.
drink the coffee.
finish the newspaper.
tonight we will love eachother again.
For a retarded summer school english class, we had to write a poem about our hometown. I don't really care overly much for whitehorse itself, so I decided to write about hell.
The reason it is fixed is because we had to follow a specific type of poem. The first line is 2 words, and you have to follow a set of instructions. then the second line has 4 words, then 6, then 8, up to 12, then back down, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2
This is what I wrote:
Hell is
brimstone landscapes, vast, putrid.
pain tastes like the mystery loaf.
screams without sanity echo in the dark corners;
your companions are all the insecurities that you can't handle.
in the night, i was forced to meet them, face to face.
screaming in agony, i fell to my knees and wished to cry.
a dream of heaven. what a cruel place this is.
my mind tells me what to do.
humans create their own personal hells.
never cloudy, never sunny,
ad infinitum.
he loves the way i look.
i catch him sneaking glances at me
when i make the coffee
in the morning.
he always has that look
on his face.
never saying a word,
he is always there.
his well dressed mannerisms
are always directed towards me.
The other girl who works
lunch says she doesn’t like him.
he tips me more than
her.
he usually leaves about ten o' clock.[9:54 every day]
i think he runs his
own business;
he never seems to be in a rush
at lunch time,
he comes back [12:08 every day]
and orders the soup of the day
and a sandwich.
i get to choose.
he always sits in
my
area.
[he forgot to shave this morning, but he is here earlier than usual;
he was here before me.]
last time he brought a
lady with him.
she sent back her order twice
because the meat wasn't cooked enough.[he had the soup of the day.
she wanted to pick the sandwich, but he made me pick.
they fought.
he only had soup.]
