Locked-Door Song

Locked-Door Song

A Poem by Zack Burton
"

Back to rhyming. A poem left to your interpretation. As always.

"
The chorus keeps repeating

Droning out my infamy
This radio of hate
You're beautiful so instantly
Another breath of hate
And why you fit so perfectly
Is an excuse I hate
Don't tell me you'll be there for me
When all that's left is hate

If you asked me, I'd just shrug
I don't have time to salt this slug
Because I don't know
This rodeo

The chorus keeps repeating

My father-mother love for you
is sucking dry my love for you
And now I feel my love for you
is something out of place

This part is the music break
Hooked in here to sing
And though I'm lost in every ache
I still can feel the sting
God knows why I'm doing this
It slurps up all my pain
The blood caress my only kiss
You dry my every stain

The chorus keeps repeating

You think I am a friend or foe?
I just don't know this rodeo
You block me off with tell and show
I just don't know this rodeo
You've got me falling, sinking low

The chorus keeps repeating

Lock-Door Song is an amazing title :) the poem is lovely too

Instead of saying chorus keeps repeating you can just right chorus. Unless of course that was done on purpose (?) I also found it funny that in the first stanza/verse you write "radio of hate" and then you repeat the words hate throughout the stanza/verse. It's like hate is in constant rotation.That was really creative

Beautifully written, I truelly appreciate the style that you chose. The first verse is very powerful I feel, it seemed to speak to me more then the others, just because its talking about beauty and hate, like society says that we should hate nthose that are more beautiful than ourselves in many different ways. Anyways thats just what i got from this. Thank you for writing. Blessed Be.

yeah man
i like the tone and the musical singsong quality of this one

If you asked me, I'd just shrug
I don't have time to salt this slug
Because I don't know
This rodeo

The emotions and words are portrayed evenly; and your imagery is amazing. I really liked the line:
"The blood caress my only kiss
You dry my every stain"
Great write, and well done :)

I really like this line:

And though I'm lost in every ache
I still can feel the sting

I can relate to the subject and I really like the speed of the verse. Nice work.

Howdy, folks, I'm Zack Burton. I already have two accounts on this site, but seeing as I'm utterly dissatisfied with them both, they should be closed by now. I'm much more of a poet than a short s.. more..
