Glittering Clouds

Inspire by the song Glittering Clouds by Imogen Heap

Lost among these places of shapes and colors,
There is something beneath this ground
Someone beneath who I am.
Someone I do not know.
Will anyone hear me in time?
Oh dear,
It's coming closer, these dark shadows
Scared, I run.
Run until I can't breathe.
Race beside towering trees,

Deeper and deeper I go.
Away from the bright lights
Far into the darkness where it can't find me.
Getting lost inside this place;
I don't' know what else to do!
Wish to be above the clouds
To dance with the stars
Away from this place of deceit.
But I'm still here.
My feet firm on the ground.
Oh dear,
Everything is shouting it;

Here,
Over there,
All of it static.
Oh my head.
Please, I can't help it!
I have no choice;
I don't know what I am!
Someone please save me!
Your touch is lightning,
Soft,
Pulling from the blackness.
Could you do it?

Take me someplace above the skies
Dance with me along the sunsets
Glittering clouds made our towers.
Rescue me from this weakness
This nature I am.

I can't fight it,
Not alone,

This thing in my blood.

Stop! Please stop me!
Before I hurt someone
Someone like you.
Oh god,
It's all over.
What have I done?

Author's Note

Enjoy! I had a lot of fun writing this. :) Another new poem from a song. Was thinking that if I actually do a lot more, poems based off of songs, that I aught to just make a 'book' in here of all of them.
So tell me what you think!
Happy reading~

Very nice imagery, Your words are beautiful and flow well. Though it is a dark kinda twist on something so beautiful. You see the title glittering clouds and expect a happy cheery poem and then you read it and realize that is is depicting suicide. Nice I like it

I relly liked this. Its beautiful, intriguing, and intense, in a way.

This was very well done. I applaud you.

you lost me in your poem! I mean, I got lost in the words and images... and I understood the poem, which is more important. you're talking about suicide and I understand from personal view those emotions and images you're creating. Anyway, I like it :)
