Sweet Hermione




5th poem

This was a difficult subject for me. It’s not that I didn’t like the lyrics, there was just nothing that popped in my head, as it usually does when I’m trying to write a poem. I decided the moment I re-read the lyrics the fifth time I’d use the first two lines. ‘How many times do I have to tell you, I’m sorry for the things I’ve done.’ To me, that is someone feeling sorrow about a broken relationship. But it’s also someone being annoyed that his/her apology isn’t accepted. I started with the title and the last stanza. Then the inspiration started coming and eventually my poem even became a little story. If you read really well, you might get it. But maybe it’s only clear for me, because I’m the one who wrote it. 

-- 

Happily ever after is just a metaphor 

Merrily stomping on my brain, 
you unleashed the monster, 
that wants, that craves, 
to dance outside in purple rain. 

Packing up my wooden toys, 
screams tell me to stay put. 
But I am leaving anyway, 
ignoring all the noise. 

Up our road to world wide fame, 
my heart fell off a cliff. 
A relationship gone bad, 
and I will take the blame. 

The little things that make you itch, 
twirl the knife inside my chest. 
Because the lesson I’ve learned is, 
Love is just a bitch.
