Red Night Sorrow

• Artist: Amii-Amiri
• Description: It's very sloppy, and I kind of made it up as I went along, but I HAD to keep the last verse, I love it. An alternate take on the second line of the first verse is "your blood is as sweet as my hand on your throat" but I wasn't sure which one to put, so I just put the one with a girl in it instead... If you want me to explain each verse I could, but you have to comment or PM me first.

I would if I could, but I can't so I won't,
Her eyes are as sweet as my knife at your throat.

With arms wide open I'd welcome you
In a field of sun-kissed dew
Promise to me you'll forever be true
Promise to me like I never knew.

I would if I could but I can't so I won't
My eyes are glazed over yet another coat.

I'll sleep in your arms if you hold mine
We can pretend that everything is fine
Restrain me before I commit a crime
Restrain me while I die.

I would if I could but I can't so I won't
Kill me quickly, kill me kind, and pull me off of this burning boat.

My heart is now as contorted as my thoughts
From wars with you I've fought and lost
How in my sleep I've turned and tossed
How in my world the lines weren't crossed.

I would if I could but I can't so I won't
We could laugh it off as if it were a joke

Now here we stand as time passes quicker
The gun in your mouth, your pupils getting bigger
As my hand clutches yours and the other pulls the trigger.

that's very depressing

Your poem was really good. It would be nice if you could explain the verses.
