Patience is a virtue,
So it's surprising I have any.
All's fair in love and war,
So you leave me in the dark.
The grass is always greener,
But I'm always feeling blue.
There are plenty of fish in the sea,
But all I want is you.
I'd be as free as a bird,
If you didn't captivate me,
Love will tear us apart,
That's how I'm feeling lately.
Words can't bring me down,
But what you said, it echoes.
Silence is golden,
And it makes me want to scream.
I don't think I'm happy with this yet... I might come back to it later.
ReplyDeleteI am happy with it. It is awesome. It went a totally different direction from the poem I told you about...which is to say it is coherent and actually has a discernible point, in addition to being an awesome use of metaphor, irony and contradiction.
ReplyDeleteI will quibble by saying that the poem is in fact not about me, but perhaps your title is intentionally ironic in that it is not true for most people.
Thanks. :)
DeleteI spent a while thinking about this title, and had even considered using a play on "you're so vain" within the poem but didn't end up going with that. And largely the poem is about me, so perhaps I am just talking to myself?
