Description She says
  'Look at the stars, don't they look pretty tonight?
       Each one's  like an angel up in heaven,
                                         guiding the lost home.'

        I say
           'I don't believe in heaven.'

                                                              The silence afterwards
                                                                                was deafening.         

Because I didn't think the stars looked pretty,
                           I thought they looked dull, almost gray.
             Almost like a dirty tear drop, rolling down the face of those angels
                           after they realised, they could never guide me home.

                
              
              'Hey the glass of vodka still looks pretty full,
                        we can share it together. And then afterwards,
                                               we can go somewhere quiet.'
                                                           She said oh so seductively
                   I say
                     'I'd rather just stay here.'

                                                             Suddenly she lost that seductive look.

Because I thought the glass looked pretty empty
                    but I guess that's still ok, because alcohol helps
                to forget the torn up memories and hopeless emotions.

      
     She says
         'Hey let's watch The Notebook. I love romantic movies.
               They make me cry alot though, but it'll be ok.
                  Because I'll lay in your arms and I'll feel so safe and happy,
                because I know you love me too.'
                                                     
                             I say
                          'Haven't we already seen The Notebook?'

                                                          At that moment it almost looked like
                                                                        her heart had broken in two.
                                                   
Because I never liked romantic movies,
                   I fell asleep the last time we went and saw one.
                 And if they make you cry why watch them?
                     Why don't you cry about something actually sad?

            
                        She says
                         'I'm sorry but I don't think we should
                                                  be together anymore.
                                                                    It'd be less painful that way.
                     We will always be friends, and we can always
                                        be there for each other but,
                                   I think we'd be happier if we
                                            lived our own seperate lives.'
                                        

                           I say
                              'Happiness is pretty hard to find.'

                                                                               So she walked away
                                                                                    and never looked
                                                                                                            back.
     
           And now without her everything is just so
                                                                      
                            empty...
                                                                           
                                           meaningless...
                    
But I guess for once I thought she was right.
                It will be less painful if we're not together.
                       Because now I think that, she'd miss me less
                                
                             After the angels fly me
                                                 away tonight.

Thank you. I don't even read a lot of poems I was feeling down one day and I found this poem...it makes me feel good to be pessimistic.

Hehe that's fine, poetry can be pretty boring sometimes.
Though it's always good to find a poem that you can relate to, especially if you aren't feeling fantastic.
I'm glad my work made you feel good about something though.

oddballkimin In reply to AlwAys-tRy [2009-09-30 21:19:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's true. Actually I wrote a poem in eighth grade, but it wasn't that good.

Yeah, that's true. I think people like poetry cuz it can relate to themselves or the world. :3

You're welcome. These kinds of poems are not the kind I usually find, but yours sticks out.

Should still post it up on devart though, it'd be interesting to read.
Well it's kinda like conversation, no one really enjoys talking about things they can't relate/aren't interested in.

I'm glad you enjoyed reading it.

I'm just gloomy (an upgrade from tragic) that you depicted it so well.

i've felt like this more often than i like.
though if you dont mind me asking, why upset at my depiction?

tru-tears In reply to AlwAys-tRy [2009-06-07 14:52:20 +0000 UTC]

i guess it because i have so much anger and hate all up inside, and its just killing me.
i need to let it out.

dunno if it'd be the same for you but the best way for me is listening to music that you can relate to, like if you're feeling sad The Fray, angry, Korn etc
that or writing poetry helps
or talking about it to someone

I love the layout of the words, different fonts, bold, etc.
This is really good. It tells a story, and I like how it has the contradictory half in the smaller font.
