Aftermath (Pandora continual)

Move on, and live proud.

Foolish, Foolish Pandora,

Opening the box of love and hope,

Releasing affection upon the world,

Tying up one another with invisible ropes.

 

Curious, Curious Pandora,

Filling the world with succulent love and hope,

Now people will die because of their heart,

Not of cardiac arrest, but of heartbreaks.

 

Foolish, Foolish Pandora,

Why have I done this to myself?

Now as the one I love evanesces, dissipates into fog,

How am I to live now that I am shelved?

 

Curious, Curious Pandora,

Look at what I have bestowed?

An elastic cord between lovers,

Rebounds and snaps when overly pulled.

 

Alone I stand on a cliff,

Looking at the waves below,

Splattering glitter, swirling midair,

Gusts of wind trickling through my hair as they blow.

 

Tormenting is the sun,

Hot, ruthless,

Yet it sets the ocean blazing,

Sparkling, restless.

 

How I want to leap towards the stars below,

Sprout a foamy white silhouette,

And sink to the bottom of the bottomless sea,

Embraced by dampness, wet.

 

As I jump into oblivion,

A warm, rough hand grasps my arm,

And pulls me backwards,

First startled, I lean on his shoulder to lament.

 

Soothing are his arms holding me,

Comforting are his words,

‘Pandora don’t cry’ he says,

‘You’ll move on and discover your other half, your rest.’

A continual of the amazing 'Pandora' by one of my best friends Kami Grace :D

So who wrote this you or your friend? :-)

A simple yet justified depiction of Pandora's woes knitted into the broken heart of another lamenting and tormented at love passed by.

Even though I think it is a bit drastic to wish to jump off a cliff because of love passed by the words here express a pain that only the muse can understand ... Not so much a fan of the repetition here ... I think it is a tad distracting and perhaps if looked upon again could be changed to add more zest and vigor ..,


In any case nicely done x

Haha I wrote this one cos I like 'Pandora' but somehow I find it too depressing so I chose to expand on the idea ~~

I agree that it's a bit drastic jumping off a cliff but when I wrote it I think this is what can portray clearly the depression of a heartbreak (even if it's a bit over-the-top)

And thanks for your comment on the repetition, I'll look into it and perhaps change it :D

Pandora box should never lock our emotions if a baby fell while attempting to stand had a Pandora box he wouldn't learn to walk fear is our worst nightmare becomes paralyzing and controlling. Fear will prevent us from finding happiness all because we had our heart broken. Remember what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
