I read the poem Annabelle Lee in English and now it put me in this weird mood. I was sitting in Civics totally bored, then all the sudden I'm writing these depressing poems totally out of nowhere. They just came to me so I'm posting them here for fun.


Under the maple they whisper goodbye,
Wishing their love didn't have to die,
He held her hand,
Said 'I don't wanna go',
As if it could make their time together slow,
As if it could keep them together forever.
Under the maple she cries for their love,
The love that has been stolen away from them,
He had to leave,
She had to stay,
Now their love haunts them to this day,
Together forever,
They said when they met,
Goodbye I love you,
They cried when he left,
Now under the maple she sits alone,
Him in her heart,
Her in his,
Together forever,
Never to see each other again.

Yeah that was actually the 2nd one I wrote, but its a bit better. I took some strains to rhyme which makes it a bit stupid at parts, but I like it.

She watches him talk,
She watches him laugh,
She watches him from the corner of her eye,
She watches him smile at another girl,
And wishes it was her he would smile for,
She tried being silly,
She tried being smart,
She tried to impress him,
It didn't work,
So she pulled away,
Doesn't bother to try,
So now she watches from the corner of her eye,
Watches him smile at that other girl,
And wishes it was her he would smile for.

Yeah, that one is kinda weird. Its a bit short, and doesn't sound as nice as the other one, but I think it gets the point across. I like it, its something a lot of people can relate to.

Anyways those are my deppresed poems....yeah.
