tune

I'll go fetch it rq.

Well, quick correction, it's more of a song. But hey, poetry, songs, same diff.

True! I'm excited now (:

(Here it is!)

"Bullet Train"

5 AM on a Sunday.
I was struck travelin'
on a one-way.
Not a soul in sight
in the darkened lights.
It was really quite the fright.

The doors opened at a stop,
but only one person
made the hop.
From the platform
to the train floor
right before they closed the door.

You were that one person
the one who made everything better.
You were that one person
who fixed the seams of my sweater.
You don't know how much
You really mean to me…

Oh, you broke away the ice.
Against the odds of dice
you were the twelve that won the game.

You made me feel okay.
You washed the rain away.
You were my Superman, and you saved the day.

Oh, but the train was meant to stop.
And, of course, it would have crashed.
Oh, I couldn't stop the clock.
And I couldn't turn it back.

8 PM on a Monday
I was stuck walkin'
alone that day.
Not a soul in sight
in the dark of night.
Except for the single one who died.

And I…
I survived.

:O I could actually imagine music to that!! And the imagery in the lyrics was so GOOD

I loved this part especially (:
"The doors opened at a stop,
but only one person

right before they closed the door."

Thank you so much!

I actually wrote it about a friend of mine.

WOW have you showed it to him/her?? I would actually cry if someone did that for me, that's awesome!!

They are one lucky human

Actually. I can't show it to him.

How come?

He's not alive to see it.

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry!!

Ah, I guess those lyrics make more sense in some parts, I am so sorry though. It's really terrible to lose someone like that <3

Are you doing okay?

Yeah, I'm alright. It wasn't anything that happened recently. I just couldn't find myself not thinking about him as of late.

It's okay to be sad, time doesn't really soften these things that much… Still, I hope you're with people who love you a lot and you can talk to about this <3

The song was really, really good though! Do you write songs/poetry a lot?

Not as often as I'd like. I'm usually lacking in the inspiration department. But I try to as often as I can.

That's really cool though! I wish I could write poetry
