Walking the streets
Walking the dark streets one cold night in September
My breath catches wind and is carried to faraway places
Will you breathe me in when we meet?
Wood burns in the water
Fish breathe in the fire
Am I just the tinsmith’s daughter,
Waiting alive on a pyre?
Lucky me
Poor, lucky ol’ me, the girl with the sad button eyes
Peace, love, and fighting shouldn’t go together
And neither should we
Blood comes from the tree
Sap runs in my veins
Will you just ignore me
As I scream for an end to my pain?
Waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, hoping you will come
I wrap my arms around my waist
Like I wish you would do
Eyes dance on the barn floor
Feet cry tears of hate
I cannot take this anymore
Your sympathy comes too late
Chatburn seems dead
Chatburn seems so dead at night, with the air freezing me dumb
Why’s the world so quiet tonight?
What have we become?
Wood burns in the water
Fish breathe in the fire
Am I just the tinsmith’s daughter,
Burning alive on a pyre?

For some reason, this screams "schizophrenia" to me, the way I wrote it. I liked my word play. XD
Chatburn is a village in England, which I chose at random... well, not entirely random. I was originally gonna call it "Blackburn", after another English village (since it has an awesome name), but I decided not to, since it was mentioned in a Beatles song and I didn't want to be reminded of that annoying song every time I saw the title of this poem. My recent poems all seem to be influenced by Beatles songs. At both times when I was writing 'Kamandalu' and 'Chatburn', I was listening to random songs on my MP3 player (which happened to be "Love You To" and "Within You Without You" for Kamandalu and "Eleanor Rigby" for Chatburn). Also during both writing sessions, I lit a stick of incense. Maybe I need to listen to The Beatles and light incence more! XD Leave comments. EDIT: fixed the "come back to baby" line, since it bothered me a bit. |
