Love Is Noise Pollution

This is inspired by a movie called "Wristcutters; A Love Story. I recommend it if you like non-mainstream movies.

 

Awaiting destiny, a sickness I can’t shake

Knowing no matter how hard I try,

my fate still remains unchanged

There’s a nervous itching, a constant burning in my head,

my hands left bleeding, with the deeds they’ve done

But we all have our reasons to keep dreaming

 

Craving affection, an orphaned babe lost and abandoned

hungering for a mother’s milky drug

Finding lingering addictions that I can’t break

Now seeing the truth and all it is made of

Looking from behind blood shot eyes and good intentions

This is not where I belong, would I give up all that I am to just belong

another Cinderella story that’s going to end all wrong

 

Am I too headstrong to allow it to all come undone

In too deep and time keeps slipping by

Paving the road of my own misery with egoistical pride

Lurking in the shadows, tracing every step I make

Wanting to start it all over and sleep forever

Love is noise pollution that courses through my veins

The very thing that is killing me

 

Been waiting a life time to just be saved

Recognizing I’m a victim to post modernism convictions

A paper doll blind, but able to see

we are one and one, that are so incomplete

Drowning in the Noise Pollution known as love

So blind unable to see, all that I need is already inside of me

 

Love is the noise pollution that we can’t live past

Love is the very thing that’s killing me

I haven't seen the movie, but after reading this, I'd like to! This is GREAT, great poetry...it definitely feels slam-like, which I love! It's funny how love can heal but can also wound us...and you've said it all here so completely and naturally....EXCELLENT stuff, my friend! :)

I'll definately check out the movie... independant is definately the way to go.


"Drowning in the Noise Pollution known as love

Excellent poem, these two lines speaking the loudest to me. So very true, most of us just need to look inward.

Well done!!

I've never heard of the movie, but your poem spoke to me. I'm not sure it spoke to me in the way it was meant to. For me, it describes what I feel. The depression and deep longing to belong and to be loved. To constantly hear that I am loved ... and no one else can understand that.

The out of control things that I do to try to ease the pain that only make it worse.

At least that's what I got out of it.
