Pavlove

Fall Out Boy have a song called 'Pavlove'...and it has nothing to do with Pavlov, or love...or, actually, who can ever tell what an FOB song is about anyway? Here's my take.

Your voice is the bell

That gets my heart salivating

I call it ‘pavlove’.

 

When you’re not around

I try to convince myself

That I really don’t need you

That I need, as always,

Rely only on myself

That my happiness, surely

Cannot depend on another

Yet this very heart

Which scoffs and denies

Is the very one that aches for you so…

 

But when I see your face…

My eyes light up like fluorescents

As if a hand has tugged on a heartstring

And turned on the joy

When I see your face…

My heart stats beating faster

As if the conductor of my heartbeat

Waves his hands for faster tempo

I can’t help but smile, and think

That I always want you near me

 

Your face is the bell

That gets my heart salivating

I call it ‘pavlove’…

 

Author's Note

I rarely write about love...so, as usual, be brutal please!

Hmmm...is this really your take on that song?!its nothing like it..well at least not quite!
Its good that you've kept over the top mushiness out of this..its more like fighting love then eventually laying your weapon down!i like!
With this poem and most of yours its thrilling to read and perfection becomes you in them...dont go gloating thats not a compliment:) well maybe it is still!dont gloat!

Don't really listen to FOB all that much, don't know this song, so I can't compare the take on it or anything.
The piece was well written an touching. I really love the second to last stanza. It's brilliant.

But when I see your face…

And turned on the joy
I especially enjoyed this bit! I connected with the poem alot here and you pretty much captured what we all feel like at some stage (I feel like that all the time- i hate depending on someone).
This was nothing like FOB cause if it was i'd have forwarded to the middle and then to the end:P I like how you set the stage with trying to overpower love in the first two stanzas and then followed up on them with a powerful third stanza, where it thwarted you! you managed to maintain a good reading though it was a free verse poem and i respect you for that. Perfect paragraph structure from me and great length.
Excellent piece here.
