(Josie Sayz: Okay, so we have the radio on (Radio X) every day at work. I am not much of a music person and I haven’t listened to a radio in over ten years, so my knowledge of music is rather limited. I have noticed that a lot of songs seem to be about really weird/random things. The other day Snow Patrol’s ‘Spitting Games’ came on and the opening line is, “I broke into your house last night,” which I thought sounded rather creepy. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to write my own really odd and random poem, inspired by that line. Here is the outcome.)
I
broke into your house last night.
I know you leave the back door open.
It’s 3am, you’re fast asleep.
I know you won’t even hear me sneak.
Everything is still in its place,
Almost as if I never left.
Two years of dust on the fireplace
And that scent, it, still remains.
It’s been a long time, since I’ve seen your face.
My heart flutters, as I wonder around the place.
I wonder if I’ll run into you.
It’s what my heart wants and longs to… do.
Ow-ow
Ow-ow-ow
I climb up the stairs all alone.
I smile at the stain on the top step.
It reminds me what we did back then.
How I wish to do it all again.
I see the bed where we used to lay.
Now you’re snoring all alone.
Everything still looks the same
And my photo’s still in that frame.
It’s been a long time, since I’ve seen your face.
My heart flutters, as I wonder around the place.
Now that I am standing next to you.
My knees tremble and my heart races to… you
It’s been a long time, since I’ve seen your face.
My heart flutters, as I walk around the place.
I didn’t really know what to say to you.
Then I ran away and you didn’t have a clue – ow
Ow-ow
Ow-ow-ow
Ow-ow
Ow-ow-ow
I broke into your house last night.
Knew you’d leave the back door open.
I’d love to stay and watch you sleep.
Memories of you, my heart it wants to keep.
