Hot Young Thing

[virginangelic]

I actually entered this for a poetry competition but it seems they never received my application. Sigh...it actually pissed me off a lot when I found out months later during the results.

Edit: LJ stop eating my posts & comments will you?!

Overtly sentimental fool

Wake up and face reality

The world has come and gone

She wouldn’t have wanted you

To stop

 

Go on with life

Overtly sentimental fool

Life’s too precious to just

Sit back and stare

At fading photographs,

 

Savor the last few moments of your life

Overtly sentimental fool

She wouldn’t have wanted you

To wilt away

Like your weakened memories.

 

It’s time to go now

Overtly sentimental fool

Too late for changes-

You chose to lie in bed

And cry,

Grasping for the threads

Of a distant memory.

 

How apt to die

Overtly sentimental fool

Amongst the letters undeciphered

For with you died

The language of the dead

The culture and traditions of the ancient

 

Overtly sentimental fool

You’ve ended it all.
