Poetry Found In Irene Calla's Diary
No Plagiarism!CufZac4tm8C2et5AKN3Gposted 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

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBMm5rYXWs

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

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUetx5azkD

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

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbQRIz8XXf

From wedding to funeral

I'd bury the flowers

Let me nail the coffin shut

And lose myself in you

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHaBi3gboY

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

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjgN0Yse8J

If I am to stay

Then I must love him

With my whole heart

For the King does not

Do well with tricks

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcqDNSdbnX

If I am to stay 

I must give him my body

He will take it

And make it as if

It were his own

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99qlRANy6I

If I am to stay

I will lay in a castle

Encrusted with jewels and gold

And filled with

The horrendous monsters

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeRyw0nTpB

If I am to stay

The monsters become friend

Not foe

They become protection

Not danger

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AoAl5OUgJ

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

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc96UHFOVFf

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

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpyxbOKCI3

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

814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc24QKPYuNN

And I do stay

And the monsters become friend

And I become a wife

And I become a mother

And I do stay.
