NaPoWriMo Day 30 - A Cento of Pining for You
A cento poem made with song lyrics from the playlist of my poetry collections
Broken and bruised, longing for you.
I hope to see you again.
My heart is aching
because I long to live under your spell.
I build myself up
with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief.
You got me scattered in pieces
but I guess that's just the way the story goes.
Wish there was something to blame.
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have.
Only you can set my heart on fire.
Wherever you stray, I follow.
Consider this the hint of the century.
I've had enough mystery.
Tell me why I can't be there where you are.
I wish that without me your heart would break.
Think I'll miss you forever.
Do you ever hear me calling?
I feel you coursing through my blood.
Maybe, it's better left unsaid.
