Hey,
I wrote these two poems eons ago in another lifetime before Nexion was born into anti-time. This is quite a while back and it was for a project for English class, we were reading "The Things They Carried" so these poems had to be about the book. The poems have heavy references to the book which you might not fully understand unless you've read the book. I also added a few ideas from Coldplay's 'Fix You'. It ain't perfect and I'm no poem master, either. I tried, though. Eh. I wanna fix the poem (haha ironic considering the title of the poems, I'm so funny) and make it a bit better if I can though.
I Needed Fixing
Forever ago
Before I knew
We went to war
Forever ago
When life was easy
Before life got hard
I signed up for this war
Now I sit in my foxhole
Forever alone
Encumbered by the weight of men’s lives
Feeling the gravity of war
Feeling the immense guilt of wanting
When you lose something you cannot replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
I tremble
Wrested, pried from my hands
The innocence lost
The blood shed senseless
There is no hope,
No love,
No catharsis;
You hold the in your hands the two halves of my heart
The void that exists
Nobody can replace it
Not her, nor God, nor all of the treasures of the world
Once upon a time,
I didn’t try
The world was in my hands
The stars were an arm’s reach
The moon, the galaxies too
Now I sleep alone
Just the jungle, the earth, the rest of Nam
Desolate, solitary, forever alone
All is darkness
This is the end
When you try so hard but you don’t succeed
The tears roll down your cheek
When the light at the end of the tunnel is a mirage
The tears stream down your face
A million words will not bring you back
I know, because I tried
Neither would a million tears
I know, because I’ve cried
It’s hard to forget
Somebody that gave you so much to remember
A smile can happen in a flash
But the memory of it can last a lifetime
There is no catharsis
There is no hope;
I tried so hard but life gets so heavy
What else is there to do?
I cry, I mourn, and I die
Goodbye.
Fix You
Jimmy,
Every day I sit outside
I look at the sea
Where the tide meets the rocks
And the seagulls come out to play
I look at the trees
Where the wind blows ever so slightly
And the raven sits on the nest just like so
The other day I walked along the sandy beaches
I found a pebble and it made me think of you
I want to love you
I want you to be happy
But as much as you can’t stop loving me
I cannot love you
I don’t imagine you beside me
Not next to the seagulls or the raven
Nor next to the trees or the beach
When you try your best but you don’t succeed
Maybe it wasn't meant to be
It scarred you but it broke me;
The body may heal,
But the mind is not as resilient
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep...
Everyday,
I stay awake
Staring at the ceiling
I am so sorry Jimmy
I don’t imagine you next to me
I want to love you, but I can’t
Stuck in reverse
Find someone else, Jimmy
If you don’t try you will never look
If you don’t look you will never find
If you never find you will never live
It takes a man to hold on
But it's harder to let go
Come home, Jimmy
It’s time
The lights will guide you
And I will find a way
To fix you.
