Prepare yourself for a long author’s note, y’all.
If you are Artemis, Zappy, Rugby, or just some random dude surfing the internet, then don’t read this. I don’t care if you do, but it’s a sappy girl poem, so I’d advise you not to.
If you have an Obtaining Muse account, then you should watch the Film Group video that Ashden posted through my account before you read this. Because I basically have written it out as a narrative poem. The video is better than the poem (of course -i DID sorta steal their idea, but at least i’m giving them credit), so PLEASE watch it before reading this. Did I mention you should watch the video before reading this? Well, you shouldn’t read it without seeing the video. So watch the video. Like right now. Annnnnyway I felt so sad all of Saturday after seeing it (AWESOME ACTORS BY THE WAY), and then I wrote this whole thing in bed that night.
And as I said to Ashden, the only reason I wrote a boy poem that didn’t mention Mars is because I wanted it to be sad.
AND FINALLY THE POEM
We run together to the swings,
Sit and talk awhile.
The joy that moment used to bring:
Two warm hearts and two smiles.
And now I’m looking at those swings,
Thinking of back then…
That day and all those happy things
Will never come again.
I get home, start to turn the key,
Then I break down and cry.
He had been all the world to me,
Moon and stars in my sky.
And then a flashback, clear as day:
He’s on the porch with me.
We argue in the loudest way,
Then he leaves angrily.
“I’m coming over,” texts my friend…
It’s like the one from him,
The one that made my sadness end
Just before my world grew dim.
And now my heart is bleeding…
I see the story, whole;
Remember how he was speeding,
Never saw the phone pole.
My friend comes in to comfort me,
And his love is replaced
By a different kind as we
Lovingly embrace.
And right now I begin to see
That girls, too, are good friends,
Though my heart has a vacancy
That can’t be filled again.
We run together to the swings,
Sit and talk awhile.
The joy that moment used to bring:
Two warm hearts and two smiles.
