Pretending to Be Gone - This Song Deserves That Effort

Poor Best

Someone sent me a YouTube to listen to, a stranger really, you know how that goes on the internet? It is a love song but my heart took it another way. I wrote this poem below with the emotions it gave me. The song I refer to is by Snow Patrol and it is called, "Chasing Cars".

This then is MY POEM with MY EMOTIONS caused by listening:

"Pretending to Be Gone - This Song Deserves That Effort"

Ohhh I am soothed,
pleasured,
and embraced by passion.
I LOVE this song
that is not you!

Within this song...
I wish you beauty,
so I am sending you peace,
tranquility,
and within those emotions,
enough room to fly in.

Someone said we could go skiing,
and as we lit upon the snow,
I wanted to feel it.
Cold soft ice beneath my feet
tempting me to fall.
I did,
but you did not catch me.
You were no where around.

If I strike up this song again,
maybe I can make it afresh,
those stirrings,
that beckon people towards majesty.

Weeds choking out flowers,
do not come this way,
no not again.
I have found my tongue,
forming words ,
I always knew I could.

So my dear,
I love this song,
despite those past failings.
I am wet from the rain now.
And in that measure,
I can feel myself lift up,
I was never meant for snow,
no.
I was meant for flight,
and that is why I finally took that path.

Hold your own guilt,
I certainly hold mine,
my god isn't that true?
Or didn't you ever hold that bible?

Ohh, I am trembling.
I feel my own soul now.
I have dismissed the maid.
She never cleaned my bridges anyway.

I am miles away now,
and yes you're right,
upon reflecting,
I always was that far.
Silence told me I was not moving,
till I looked at my own feet.
No one should be asked to stay.
No,
not on Sunday.
Did you know...
I could only look out windows,
pretending to be gone?
This song deserves that effort.
