Our Story (Pt 1)

by Beautiful Forever   Oct 29, 2008


I thought what I was doing was right,
I was being led on by my own deceptions,
You held me close to you every night,
But my brain was confusing receptions,

Love and play were such similar games,
I confused the two for a stupid mistake,
Now my heart is refusing to switch names,
I pushed without seeing that we'd break,

Blind to the truth I've eventually lost,
You watched me slowly tear us apart,
I never noticed you were paying the cost,
Or that I was sacrificing your heart,

Your tears screamed my name with regret,
Hoping that I would see them falling,
Your heart knew it would never forget,
Or be deaf to the sound of mine calling,

Now I'm the one pleading for attention,
Running frantically toward your signs,
Perhaps they're all beyond comprehension,
Am I failing to read between the lines?

I know it was sudden and kinda ridiculous... but I sprung this poem on the girl I'm in love with. Her name is Amira... and I asked her to write the second part. I hope you enjoy and if you like this -- the second part is better ;)

So here is "Our Story (Pt 2)" - Perfectly Numb:

    Fantastic. Wonderful really.

    Your tears screamed my name with regret,
    Hoping that I would see them falling,
    Your heart knew it would never forget,

    I thought what I was doing was right,
    I was being led on by my own deceptions,
    You held me close to you every night,
    But my brain was confusing receptions,

    -good start, nothing that grabbed my attention right off the bat, but it was a good start, which is promising.

    Love and play were such similar games,
    I confused the two for a stupid mistake,
    Now my heart is refusing to switch names,
    I pushed without seeing that we'd break,

    - I pushed without seeing that we'd break. Good line, I enjoyed that way you flipped it and put it that way. Where it gets interesting for me. The play and game line was good, I like this Stanza.

    Blind to the truth I've eventually lost,
    You watched me slowly tear us apart,
    I never noticed you were paying the cost,
    Or that I was sacrificing your heart,

    -another alright Stanza. The Heart and Apart rythme is used a lot, but I enjoyed it the way you put it. The end Line in this Stanza, sort of doesn't sit well with me..not sure why, just feel odd about it, maybe it's just me.

    Your tears screamed my name with regret,
    Hoping that I would see them falling,
    Your heart knew it would never forget,
    Or be deaf to the sound of mine calling,

    -Favorite Stanza. The Similie of the deaf heart is really a good one, It's very unique and very well done. Love this Stanza!

    Now I'm the one pleading for attention,
    Running frantically toward your signs,
    Perhaps they're all beyond comprehension,
    Am I failing to read between the lines?

    -This Stanza was really good. I enjoyed the fact that it was flipped backwards at the end, and now you just cant allow yourself not to read the second part of it. Great way to end it.

    All in all the poem was a really good one. I think that the 4th Stanza is absolutely amazing and really love it. The whole poem is well put together and the concept of having your gf do the second part is a very old one, but it doesn't mean that it's not a good one.

    I enjoy this poem and feel that it's well thought out, like each word was put in that place for a specific reason, certain parts didn't sit well with me, but for the most part the poem was very well done.

    5/5
