Screaming Melody
By RubyXero
There were countless nights, once before...
When I would lay here
in this very position,
fixed upon you, DR. Grim.
I would scream
frustrations onto this paper.
jagged and sharp
then have sweet
reveries where my tired eyes
wouldn't succumb rest to me.
All
the while your nonchalant dissmisal
only fueled my need!
I was
obsessed.
I couldn't get you out of my head.
I deleted
your phone number around 45 times...but to no avail.
I had it memorized.
And now, here you are again.
Trying to waltz into my bed
as you claim loneliness.
But I wonder, is it me you crave?
Or
is it my desire for you that turns you on?
You made a comment to
me today and I couldn't help but think you were just a musician...
and
I am your cello.
It has been a cold and lonely day,
so you
are ready to play.
You have played my strings so easily in the past,
I wonder...
Could I deny you this time
or am I just going to
be another 4 minute sweet melody that's forgotten after the final note?...

Feed your desire but guard your emotions, since you already know the words to this same old song, cheers!

Being played is not easy when you hold emotions for the musician that are not returned. If you can steel yourself and protect your heart, why not enjoy a remake of an old favorite tune... - XXOO

Dr. Grim. Genius! All the poem is superb, I perceived it as this being addressed to Death, Grim Reaper. It was how I perceived it and I enjoyed it. It's a new concept of talking about Death. Really well conceived.
