Scarlett

by Emily parsons   Nov 7, 2005


Your written on her wall
And written in her head
Your buried in her gorgeous heart
So why do you act dead?

I know how it feels
To be crying every day
To pray that its all over and,
That your troubles will wash away

Shes living in a world of pain
But none of this seems fair
She cries out for attention
But im happy just to stare

I waited for her again
Then i waited some more
I heard her crying last night
Just like the night before

Then I finally did it
I opened up the door
I found her laying in a pool
Of scarlett on the floor

So then i stopped the staring
It hurt me just to see
That the little girl in scarlett
Lived in a world like me

    This is awesome. One of my favorite poems ever. It's so sad and dark, it's just beautiful.

    I don't know quite how you intended it to go, but it seemed like a poem about a love triangle (?) or something like that where the one person who she cares about is oblivious to her situation, while she doesn't notice the person who really cares about her?

    Or maybe the narrator likes to gossip about her (the whole thing about staring?) and finally realizes how hard things really were for her?

    I don't know. I would love to see exactly the situation you were talking about when you wrote this???

    Anyways, amazing work. Please write more soon ;)

    Again I really love the poem, but there r no Commas or periods, let me give u an example, this is the original

    So then i stopped the staring
    It hurt me just to see
    That the little girl in scarlett
    Lived in a world like me

    With Commas and Periods

    So then I stopped the staring,
    It hurt me just to see,
    That the little girl in scarlet,
    Lived in a world like me.

    It makes the reader pause to make words more dramatic, and it helps when u have a fast reader, who doesn’t like to pause unless told to.
    Anyways very good poem! great job!
