The Winds of Change

I've been working on this one for awhile, I hope you like it!

The winds of change are blowing, dear

But my heart beats slower still

I was dead without you here

You must be darling or be road kill.

 

Let the sirens shout their fatal song

For I may have misled myself too far along

Can you pull me out of this foresaken well?

This lie does not exisist, my story, you must not tell.

 

The winds of change are decreasing to mild

Though the smoke clears, you remain tragically silent

With the mind of an elder and the eyes of a child

Through the days, my thoughts grow violent.

 

My mind is calming, my thoughts conforming

New regions, my soul was exploring

But reality  is hunting down my crippled heart

The pain comes too early for the fun to start.

 

The winds of change have shaken the dead

Yet I've left you so much more to wonder

Did you hold that gun up to my head?

Or did I send my own body six feet under?

I love, love, love it! The third and last stanzas are my favorite. Fantastic job :)

Enjoyed your poem, it had a macabre depth to it. Just a couple of typos, second stanza fourth line "exist", and third stanza third line "mind". It really did affect the feel of your poem, just some trivial errors. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work!
