How Cold It Is Alone

by Poetic Tragedy08   Dec 3, 2009


*Story Behind This* I wrote this as a song, so it's in a song format more than a poems. My best friend went after a girl that I was falling in love with so this song is about that situation. Any comments will be returned :)

Forget about the boy in the corner
With his knees to his head
Don't think about how he feels
Just leave him for dead

I thought you learned by now
His life isn't meant for you
He tried so hard for you to notice
He saw what you had been through

He knew this wasn't right
Abandoned his heart and thought
But your eyes kept him alive
Forgiving him of what he was taught

*So when you sleep, sleep tonight
When you don't see his actions
And when you lose, lose everything
Cause your heart is only a fraction
Of His

He read your message in a bottle
Figured everything on his own
He didn't really realize
How cold it is alone

But he found you one day
Feeding the lions with graves
Searching for nothing
Forgetting the love he craves

So when you sleep, sleep tonight
When you don't see his actions
And when you lose, lose everything
Cause your heart is only a fraction
Of His

He found your message in a bottle..
Figured everything on his own..
He didn't realize for a second
How cold it is alone..

    I liked this poem a lot. Its very raw and I can see how hard it must have been to pen such a piece.

    "He read your message in a bottle
    Figured everything on his own
    He didn't really realize
    How cold it is alone"

    ^ The stanza that spoke to me the most

    - this stanza has a really awkward flow ..

    Other wise it flows nicely , and your imagery is very different but is effective . Well done , 5/5

    This situation is such a tough one to be in. Pretty Ironic because I'm in this situation myself right now...

    "Boldy Original"....no better words can describe this poem. I thought it was very original and I absolutely loved it! Your way of expressing your feelings is very unique which is hard to find anymore. I thought this was a great write!

    Boldly original

    The deep line which I pondered the most was Feeding the lions with graves
