I look on in wonder. It is Red like roses.
Tell me Mirror mirror. The question that it poses.
If I were to walk out From shadows. What would I learn?
For every attempt I make. Each time I burn.
I see something shining. For it I may fall.
Reaching for Gold. Is it worth it at all?
I continue to think. This will be the day.
It's time to say goodbye. For I can not stay.
For all that I try. I know I may Die.
Hoping for a Dream come true yet is only a lie.
In All our days. We were caught in a loop.
If just one more time. One more silly Boop.
With you in my life. I was given Wings to soar the open blue.
The Caffeine burning through.
Just once more I wish to see your eyes Shine.
Yet When it falls. I slowly lose my mind.
I keep thinking back. I'm the one this happens to.
I swore back then Not to fall in love with you.
So what is Red like roses is my own blood.
I wonder when It's my turn to lay face first in the mud.
Oh Mirror mirror. How have I grown so old?
When did the days seem to grow so Cold.
I can feel is swiftly. This great Divide.
From the Neon rainbows and the greys of a storming sky.
I'm Armed and ready. Even from my own self harm.
I wonder as I exist. Am I my own Bad luck charm?
Am I Lusus Naturae? Just nature's freak?
Cooped up in my Home as the tears slowly leak.
But This life is mine to decide.
To venture forth like a Bmblb or sit here and hide.
My love you might Say "Let's just live."
And Like morning follows night. I may just forgive.
To walk from this Path to Isolation mile for mile.
In the hopes of reaching and see your beautiful Smile.
Maybe I can do it. If only This time.
To feel The triumph. Of what is at the end of the line.
And while it is true that All things must die.
All that matters is I give this life one more try.
The Sacrifice you made will be my guiding light.
Give me one more smile so my fire can finally ignite.
In honor of the fact the Volume 5 Soundtrack dropped. On a whim I decided to write a poem. But the challenge I gave myself since there was now 40 lyrical songs. So I wrote a 40 line poem and every line had to contain the title of one of the songs. I was happy with how it turned out and several friends liked it.
I decided to post it and see if anyone else liked it. Not what you usually get from me but I figured someone would enjoy it.
It's not perfect and not really about a specfic person. I did this on the spot and in under 15 minutes. But I hope it's still good.
Maybe it's Tai waxing poetic while getting his head together after Summer died..
