...On What Would Never Be

Note: This piece features a lot of old lyrics that I've used in the past. I felt that they fit so well with this. I wrote it in study hall and typed it up in Word so it looked presentable. I'm really proud of this piece and I hope everyone enjoys it. Or cries. Or something.

“...On What Would Never Be”

If you listen to the rain,
The droplets have their own stories to tell—
Each has suffered pain,
And each has been through hell.
They all share a single common bond
Of falling upon your beautiful face;
And before they all are gone,
They’re immortalized by your grace.
The moonlight also shares its rays of sun;
Puts the highlights in your hair;
And sends the rain clouds on the run
Since they just can’t compare.
As the stars show themselves to you,
They prove that everything will be all right;
And there’s nothing more that I’d rather do
Than lay here right next to you all night.
The shining emerald green in your eyes
Pulls me in every single time;
So far inside that I can breathe your life—
I just want you to be mine.
The droplets of rain shine on your face;
And as I wipe away those glittering drops,
I’m taken away to that special place
Where, without you, I’d be lost.
The moonlight reflects off your cheek
And I’m lost in you forever.
As I lean in to kiss you, I become weak—
I feel like I’m floating on whatever.
I’m left breathless by every breath you take,
And I struggle to fill my lungs with the air I need.
As I gasp for breath, I can see what’s at stake:
When I’m not with you, I feel my heart bleed.
I want to speak but I just breathe silence
Even though the clouds try to help me.
I want to take control—become my own pilot;
I just wish I knew what you wanted to tell me.
A lesson lived is a lesson learned
And I’ve learned my lesson all too well:
You’re the one for whom I’ve yearned—
But I’ve kept myself inside my shell.
My existence feels bleak when I think of the fact
That I let you slip past that day.
Now I just wish that I could go back—
Maybe I could change the outcome some way.
Constance, my love for you will never change:
Not another person can take your place—no one.
And I know that this may seem a bit strange,
But you’re all I see under the sun.
I know you know I’ve practically stalked you
And all the e-mails are probably killing your heart.
I know that I should’ve just talked to you—
Walking past hundreds of times wasn’t at all smart.
Now every time I see you, your eyes call out,
Screaming, “Talk to me if you want me,”
But then I take a different route
And I end up in a place that you’ll never see:
Locked inside this lonely box
With nothing but a pen, paper and these memories.
Nothing here can break the locks
On what would never be.

 

Oh my God. This may be the best thing you ever wrote. I feel all weird now. :wth:

 

Thanks, Maëlle. Is feeling weird a good thing?

 

That's great...it makes me feel kind of funny, like when i used to climb the rope in gym class

 

Well, it got me all mixed up inside so yes it's a good thing for you, but maybe not so good for me

 

Thanks for the comments.

 

....that was soo scary, i acctually cried!
I never do that so you have done an AMAZING job.
It was so EMO :'(

 

Good lyrics, better than what i could ever write, where do you get your inspiration

 

Wow, it's really good! Actually, I also almost cried.

 

Damn that piece was so great. I'm crying now

 

Thanks, everyone. I'm going to give this piece to the girl I wrote it about.

 

Kick ass job on the writing, Will. I hope she really likes it.

 

I'd attempt to say something, but I'm speechless. Will has done it again.

 

Thanks, ladies. I really hope she likes it, too. So much.

 

Anyone else want to comment?

 

Don't double post, Will

Good luck Will. I hope she likes it.

The posts were around 18 hours apart. We don't yell at people (at least I don't) for posting when there's a substantial amount of time between the posts.

Anyway, thanks.

 

Loved your poem Will, great job!
