a crappy poem
Just a thing I wrote that's actually a song. I'll add the music eventually. The year-end just always makes me take a time to think about what it has brought to me and what it has not.
PARADIGM SHIFT
Please
Don’t let me go
Into that cold night
Let me stay right here
Breathing in your light
The night
is full of glowing eyes
They want to watch me fall down the snow
and slice me with their knives
Don’t let me go.
I
promise I’ll be quiet
just sitting by your side
I won’t dare to move
not to ruin your precious solitude
Just let me stay.
I’ll be a good girl, diligent and sane
I’ll lead a good life, marry a good man
I’ll do my homeworks and won’t stay up late
I’ll live my empty days
No love no hate
You’ll spend your days reading old poetry
Lecturing on love, obsession and bigotry
Then you’ll come home and open a bottle
Watching your hands cover with mottles
Is that what you’ve wanted?
To follow the pattern
You’d told me once
Patterns are fetters
Paradigm shift
That’s what we’re heading for
Old year is breaking
Watch out for shatters
See
I get it all
But there is still this night
before I leave
and you let me fall
Don’t let me go.
