Heart Dressed in Black

"This is kind of deep, and a little depressing,"

Font Size

Part of this was inspired by a girl I like here on lush, and the other part by a guy who is in the army, who I care a lot about and worry about everyday. I would become very depressed and heartbroken, if I lost contact with the girl on here, and devastated if anything happened to this strong, brave man. Both of these people are very dear to me and mean a lot. For each person, some of the lines of the poem mean different things. I did not know up until now that it was possible to write a poem, expressing completely different feelings for two individuals was possible, but I guess it is. I hope the two different interpretations show in the poem.

Sometimes I hurt,
Sometimes I cry,
But that’s no reason
To say goodbye.

Sometimes I’m sad,
At times distressed,
But that’s no reason
To be depressed.

I need to be happy,
Please teach me,
You always seem,
So filled with glee.

You light up my world,
You make me smile,
Please stay for more,
Than just a while.

Stay forever,
Please don’t leave,
If you go,
My heart will grieve.

The funeral awaits,
My heart dressed in black,
All I want,
Is to hug you back.

But no bad thoughts,
Cause you are here,
I just wish with my heart,
That you would be near.
