Poetry Found In Irene Calla's Diary
No Plagiarism!bPbX6t7dVPLzvt03ljWcposted on PＥNAＮＡ

"Your funeral"

They say

Well darling

If that's the way

I'll wear the black

You wear the white

A boy

A girl

An open casket

A freshly dug grave

A priest

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz6bkebv1F

And I'll say I love you

I'll say it until

I believe it's true

Darling how I love you

I've said it a thousand times

I'll even say it to you

How I love you

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLdeUxlsXf

If loving you is dying

Then darling

I'd live a thousand lives

And I'd cry

Every time

For when I died

I knew I'd see you

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43gkkZQ6dU

From wedding to funeral

I'd bury the flowers

Let me nail the coffin shut

And lose myself in you

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDnXgQR19M

I'd scream but they wouldn't hear

Scream and they open the coffin

And I wake up

Six feet under

With no one. 

-I.A.C

--

They will give you a dress

They will make your hair

They will powder your face

That is what you are to expect

If you stay

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARZr10nmmj

If I am to stay

Then I must love him

With my whole heart

For the King does not

Do well with tricks

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZNd918nsp

If I am to stay 

I must give him my body

He will take it

And make it as if

It were his own

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldY2CTm9Vc

If I am to stay

I will lay in a castle

Encrusted with jewels and gold

And filled with

The horrendous monsters

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDbZ1pUrca

If I am to stay

The monsters become friend

Not foe

They become protection

Not danger

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj48aOhGYr

If I am to stay

I will be made the King's wife

And the damage will be

Irreparable

For there will be no

Denying

How I love him

Even if it isn't

True

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68ds2cBSMc

If I am to stay

The only record of me

Becomes that I was his wife

The only thing that matters

Is that my identity

Became reabsorbed 

Into his

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk100LAhlc

If I do not stay

I face a world

That has forever hated me

And the King's wrath

Will be much worse

My head

Brought back

On a pike

842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmgo2iKLfp

And I do stay

And the monsters become friend

And I become a wife

And I become a mother

And I do stay.
