I Can't Get That Song Out Of My Head

by ABake   Jan 23, 2008


Here we go arguing and screaming [please just stop]
Leaning against this old headboard I close my eyes...
Remembering the past, when things were flawless;
It's like being awoken from your favorite dream,

In the distance I think my phone is ringing but-
Seems I am too caught up in reminiscing to care,
There is a possibility it's you calling but oh well...
My heart is sore from all of the yelling we have done;

January has become my month of tears [I hate crying]
You used to wipe away each tear now, you cause them,
Pencil in my hand but my thoughts just won't connect;
Oh how I wish I could cut and paste our memories-

Rewind to four months ago when all I did was smile,
Watching as each scene plays in front of my tired eyes;
I remember every memory like it was just yesterday...
There goes that stupid ring tone of yours playing again;

Press reject or answer and hear him yell? [I love you]
I want so badly to take all the blame, make it go away,
But truth is, we are in this together, theres no I in team;
Here I go again, screaming my lungs out to get to you-

You should know by now, you are my one and only,
I can't get up when your gone, I am ready to give up;
Your ring tone is playing over and over in my mind...
Baby, tell me why I can't get that song out of my head?

[For a contest.]

    ^I think those lines are perfect, just perfect. And amazing. This whole poem is just so well writen. You display your emotion in such a beautiful way. It makes me feel it from first word to last. I don't know what to say anymore...I just LOVE it. I do hope things get better though..I hope you don't hurt forever. If only love was easy..
    Great work! =]

    First off ... loved the title. Your titles always seem to reel me in. Beautifully done.

    The last two lines of your first stanza was just amazing. I could picture everything just flawlessly. That stanza just hooked me in and I was eager to read more.

    On to the whole poem ... flawless. Your writing style is enjoyable unique and fun to read. This poem had me captivated and I was in trance while reading ... no joke.

    The emotions were so real and ones I could easily relate with. Amazing.

    Rewind to four months ago when all I did was smile,
    Watching as each scene plays in front of my tired eyes;
    I remember every memory like it was just yesterday...
    There goes that stupid ring tone of yours playing again;

    ^the imagery here was just flawlessly effective. Beautifully done.

    I know you will do great in contest .. overall a joy to read.

    My only thought is for this line
    "You used to wipe away each tear now, you cause them"
    the pause should be after "tear"
    so it would be
    "You used to wipe away each tear, now you cause them"
    or you could add a hyphen
    You used to wipe away each tear-now you cause them"

    this is contest worthy!
    5/5
