Collapsing Relapsing Part 2

Dreams turn into nightmares

Take the gun and run

We’ve gone too far to stop

Start the car and drive

We’ve gone too far to stop

If love was a crime

We’d be on death row

Take the gun and run

Love has gone to hell

 

It’s only you and me

Humanity’s collapsing

Love is lust relapsing

Are we truly free?

 

Start the car and drive

We’ve got to get away

Start the car and drive

This town is not our life

Time to run away

We’ve come too far to die

Time to run away

It’s only you and I

Take the gun and run

Love has gone to hell

It’s only you and me

Humanity’s collapsing

Love is lust relapsing

Are we truly free?

 

The whiskey bottle’s empty

The gun is in the back

The whiskey bottle’s history

The gun is in the back

Our love is just a crime

Now’s our time to die

Love is just a crime

Only born to die

Take the gun and run

Now’s our time to die

 

It’s only you and me

Humanity’s collapsing

Love is lust relapsing

Are we truly free?

 

Our world has been collapsing

Love is lust relapsing

Is there a “you and me?”

Were we ever free?

Lots of intriguing questions within a poem that paints a picture reminding of Romeo and Juliet. The real question is who's going to die first for the sake of love. Maybe you can write another version so we can see who wants to make that type of dying comment first. Great job. :)

I love the need behind each word. It has a Bonnie and Clyde feel to it all. The last stanza is almost like their conscience talking, very appropriate and endearing to the turmoil. I rather enjoyed this one. Well done.

This poem seems to follow the tune of the Safety Dance

Cool. Nice poem. Not a fan of her though.
