It’s funny..
Originally written... the day after the last LAN Party? Given the context, one or more of you might know what's.. behind this poem, I guess you could say... I figured there was no longer a reason to not post it..
I'm kind of proud of myself with this poem. I tried to have a basic structure that I followed: two words, nine words, three words, nine words. I think that I adhered to it pretty well throughout the poem. It was hard to follow in a few stanzas, trying to find just the right words to fit the structure and still get my meaning across. Any rhyming is unintentional, as are most other literary devices. It just so happen's that the first line of each stanza is "subject verb," except the last and the first. The first, if you make it "It is funny" follows the subject verb, but then breaks the two word rule, so we'll just excuse that line. The last stanza... I just couldn't think of a subject verb combo to end the whole thing. But I think it works great as it is.
Pronouns galore...
It's funny
how my mind keeps wandering back to that night
in the dark
while walking along the pavement, the grass, the dirt.I remember
not the path I walked alone, on my own,
but the short
time and distance walked with you by my side.I walked
alone, but you made effort to be by me;
you fell away,
but always tried to walk with, next to, me.You asked
what was wrong with me, why was I sad,
I said that
I was not sad and that everything was alright.I lied
when I said that everything was alright with me,
everything was not;
I pushed you away, and for that I'm sorry.But I
just cannot relate to you yet what I feel,
because you are
the reason I feel that pang in my heart.
It appears as if I need to add some CSS for blockquotes... - Fixed!
