It's been forever since I wrote a poem. The last one was in Sec 4, if I'm not wrong. I was never good at poems lah. Was looking through my poems in my folder and they were quite gross and there were only three (I wrote so much more, somehow they disappeared), so I thought I'd write one.

This is 3/4 inspired by the song Iris- The Goo Goo Dolls, and 1/8 by "A SAD DAY", and the other 1/8 by my weird thoughts. So here goes.

Iris

Iris, he said, Iris
I miss you
Iris, he said, Iris
I need you

Oh, Iris, oh
You with your raven black hair
Oh, Iris, oh
You with that sweet smile so rare

Iris, my Iris,
As wild as an untamed horse
Iris, dear Iris,
In your dark eyes I'd be forever lost

Iris, please, Iris
Seems like forever, since you've been gone
Iris, please, Iris
I need you to mend my heart that's torn

Iris, he said, Iris
I have to get to you
Iris, he said, Iris
Death would be wonderful.

The ending's pretty bad, but it'll do for now.
Comments please!

I meant for it to be "unbridled horse", but I changed it to "untamed" after Yizhen said unbridled's a mouthful. Yup.

I really like The Goo Goo Dolls' video for Iris, check it out on Youtube. And Avenged Sevenfold's Seize the Day. I don't really like the music, but the video's really good, and the band members are all so gothic! I like how the whole theme of death lingers everywhere. I'm not morbid lah, sometimes I like such stuff.
