I Hate the Way You Speak

I always hated the way

Your poet lips would dance

And from your lyric tongue you'd speak,

"Where would Shakespeare be, my love,

Without his tragedies?"

And even worse I despised

How after, your song voice composed

A symphony as you laughed out,

"Though, maybe Will wouldn't have

Seemed so damn cold."

More than anything, I loathed 

Your star eyes and how they shone

As if you'd conquered the galaxy

When I lacked the resistance

Of asking how you felt

About what Auden wrote.

Author's Note

Just kind of popped in my head, and refused to leave.

U said in the last line "Auden wrote" ... What does that mean ?

[devon]

Auden is a poet.

Very mystical, Devvie. I'm impressed by this. You have a way with words. The title had me intrigued, and I was pleasantly surprised with this master piece. :) Thank you for sharing!

[devon]

Thank you so much, Aly! :') You are so, so kind!

[Aly Jones]

Nah, I'm just pretending. XD Kidding, kidding. I love your piece!

[Aly Jones]

I've been better. Last month was NOT my month. My boyfriend dumped me, I caught Mono, and my cat died. :(

I love when things just pop into my head! I didn't quite understand the poem, but I still enjoyed reading it:) I don't know why, but I really like this line: "More than anything I loathed, Your eyes and how they shone." Great job! :)

[devon]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! And the narrator was trying to say she hated the way him and how he speaks, and talks. She hates his big, boisterous opinion. She hates how he thinks he's always right. She hates all these things about him. Yet, ironically, the things she hates are what keeps her holding him on. She loves him and these things about him, even though she feels like she hates him. She can't help but keep coming back to him, if that makes sense.

And thank you so much! You're one of my biggest supporters. You have no idea how much it means to me.

That makes a lot of sense! It reminds me of this song that I've heard before. The singer sang all these things that she hated about them, but its all the things she missed the most.
Well now that I understand it, I enjoyed this poem even more! :)
And you're welcome! I'm glad I have the honor of being one of your biggest supporters! lol :)

[devon]

Aww, thank you! And if you come up with what the song's called, will you let me know? I'd like to listen to it!

[Mir]

Sure! :)

[devon]

Thanks!
