Cardboard Guitar

by Italian Stallion   May 15, 2006


Sitting here
Watching the stars
Wishing you were near
With my cardboard guitar

Taking it hard
Not wanting to breakdown
Taking my guitar made of cardboard
And cutting it for I have outgrown

Loving you is what I know
Loving you is what I want the most
For all we have been through
You'd think we'd be close

But you left me
For another man
Why did you flee?
I thought we had a plan

A plan to make a life together
A plan to get married
Even your brother
Agreed, but I guess your view varied

I sit all alone
Day and night
Feel like I'm unknown
And have no might

Sitting here
With a glock
As I feel a tear
I pull the trigger

And down I go
Falling to the ground
What a show
You happy now that I'm not around?

    *wordless* I don't know what to say. This was very nicely writen and the ending showed so much emotion that I nearly fell over in aw. I loved how the ending showed a slight bit of hate. I don't know if that was meant to be, but I love it regardless.
    One thing though. I read your other poem and you said that it was true. Please, don't make this poem reality!
    Keep it up, 5/5

    I loved the use of the question at the end, i think that was really effective because it actually makes you think about the content of the poem. little bits of this seemed to disruppt the flow, but other than that really imaginative and emotional, i loved the title, pure genius :D

    Good write. the glock line kind of interupts the flow of that stanza, but makes you stop and think at the same time. ryhmes arent very forced but simple. good. id say the last stanza did the best in my eyes. :you happy now that im not around? '
    good line
