You only need the light when it's burning low,
You only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
You only see the light when the storm grows strong,
You only know what's right once you've gone wrong.
You only hate the road when you're missing home,
You only want your friends when you're all along.
You only feel the pain once it's been too late,
You're only locked outside once they close the gate.
You only miss the sun when it starts to snow.
You only see the light when the storm grows strong,
You only know what's right once you've gone wrong.
You only hate the road when you're missing home,
You only want your friends when you're all along.
You only feel the pain once it's been too late,
You're only locked outside once they close the gate.
Wow! This is such a sad/beautiful/relateable poem! I also liek how your rhyme scheme seems pretty natural. *thumbs up*
ReplyDeleteCool and pretty poem, Mark! :) But, I don't think all those rhymes are yours.
ReplyDeleteNot all of them are, that's true
DeleteI based the poem around a writing prompt. The prompt was to write a poem centered around a couple of lines of a song. I chose the song, "Let Her Go", which is where I got lines 1, 2, and 5. Lines 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 were my own lines, so some of the rhymes were mine, but about a third of the lines were from that song
