Different ReelsA Poem by DarkShinesWas playing around with the structure of this to give it an interesting look, think that worked. Basically the story is a guy having recurring nightmares about a girl he's never met dying repeatedlyThe stars above Glowing and bright You in my arms Nothing so right
You smile at me Your face happy and warm And I hold you tightly Your delicate form
Then the night grows still Your scream is silent And like a breeze past the windowsill Into the sky your ashes are sent And once more the night is still
The sun in the sky Leaves fall from the tree Your hand in mine We'd never felt so free
Down by the lake We kiss and we dance Bound in a lover's union Never thought I'd ever get this chance
Then the sun is eclipsed Your skin glows brighter And like the pages of an old novel It's almost graceful how you catch fire Face down in the water, you cease to exist
Down by the docks I'm beginning to see the trend A beautiful day, a beautiful girl And the picture starts to bend
You giggle and hold my hand Whisper something in my ear But soon comes the end The thing I've come to fear
You fall from the pier My heart in your fist And like an anchor of love You sink down and don't resist And I wait for it to end
The morning finally comes My sweat soaks the sheets The nightmares taken their tole My head hung in defeat
Tonight it will be the same Different reels of the same scenes A girl I've never know, dying again Until I figure out what it means
