Sad Girl

Pour les filles pathetiques

Looking at you puts my head in a whirl.

I’m such a sad, sad little girl.

Shutting it out or holding it in,

Looking back at where we’ve been,

Even showering feels like a sin.

Missing you, my stomach curls.

I’m such a sad, sad little girl.

All alone I pace and sigh

You wouldn’t believe how much I cried,

Or how much you invaded my dreams at night.

Mon espoir est comme une fleur...

I’m such a sad, sad little girl.

I’d tell you what I felt if I knew where to start,

But I’m distracted when my bed’s torn apart...

You touched me everywhere but my heart.

I wanted you so badly I could just hurl.

I’m such a sad, sad little girl.

Resisting wasn’t easy, but it was right.

I couldn’t sleep the rest of the night,

You wiped my eyes and held me tight.

Thinking of you and my sight blurs.

I’m such a sad, sad little girl.

I heard what you said, but there’s too many words.

Now I hold your hand again, mon amour...

I’m such a sad, sad little girl.

...a partir d'une petite fille triste.
Even I haven't quite figured out the message of this poem yet...that seems to be happening lately
Other than that, I don't feel like it flows that smoothly. So let me know what you think

you be crazy. that flow was mesmerizing. like an excellent song, and the best of poetry, it feels like a trance to read. The only thing that stuckout negatively in this poem to me was the hurl line. It just kind of cheapend a very deep and cultured moment (culture from all the french!) for me. Besides that it was truly excellent.
