I Wish I Didn't Feel For You Anymore

If you remember these lines,

Remember not the hand that wrote them,

But remember the line and the verse behind every word and between every line,

It's like a poet or songmakers cry,

 

It does not bring shame to me nor you,

But it gives undenyable strength to the both of us; our only strength,

By a power which does not flow from the feeble attempts mortal strength,

Nor the impossible possibility of immortal strength,

 

It does not weep and cry at night,

But rather stays alongside us as we do,

The tears do not run down its pages ruining the words into little ink smudges,

But they shalln't let them run down our soul and ruin them into little smudges of time either,

 

As I give power to the lines I hear the melody of a piano in the next room,

The hand that plays it is that of a loving mother,

Her song, the melody that is my life,

It's a song of sadness and loss; a song of my memory,

 

So much more than what I have given,

I wanted to give to the ones who loved me

-I cry to them when they cannot hear, "just wait for time to tell,"-

Finally, I live no more to shame me, nor them,

And you, well, I wish I didn't feel for you anymore,

 

I still remember your cold, large hands grasping and fumbling for my throat,

I was so tiny, I hadn't a chance, in a fathers tight angry grip,

I was only a little Irish boy, fresh at the age of seven,

And age had barely satated my thirst for life,

 

These lines on these papers,

The ink that of a ghost; the parchment is invisible you cannot see,

They will crumble to the dusts of time,

Wither in the fires of judgement day,

 

And then,

 

If you remember these lines,

Remember not the hand that wrote them,

But remember the line and the verse behind every word and between every line,

It's like a poet or songmakers cry,

 

So much more than what I have given,

I wanted to give to the ones who loved me

-I cry to them when they cannot hear, "just wait for time to tell,"-

Finally, I live no more to shame me, nor them,

And you, well, I wish I didn't feel for you anymore,

Oh yea everyone this poem was inspired by Nightwish's song "Dead Boy's Poem". I couldn't remember what song it was when I posted it because it was so old. Thanks jetwolf!

This is an adaptation of Nightwish's "Dead Boy's Poem". It is very beautiful, but you should at least mention that's where it comes from.
