My Girl

[Kellhus]

My Girl
I called your name
I said it twice
Was there anything else
That would suffice

For you, you're my girl

I bought you that ring
I saw you looking at
It wouldn't fit
And you called yourself fat

But you're not, you're my girl

I got it resized
To fit your slender hand
The one that I kiss
I know it's in such demand

But it was mine, you're my girl

I gave it to you
On that fateful day
You accepted the gift
In such a hateful way

But you weren't mad, you're my girl

You said "It won't fit
I don't know why you tried"
I said "put it on
Or I'll make you cry"

But I wouldn't, you're my girl

Then you slipped it on
And looked at me
I then kissed your cheek
And watched each turn pink

I told you then, you're my girl

I gave you my heart
So it was only yours
I worked so hard
Leading double-shift tours

But only for you, you're my girl

On the first year
We had been going out
The anniversary
Of my life beginning to sprout

You hurt me, you're my girl

You wanted us to be "Just Friends"
But the best of them
I loved you dearly so I said
"Friends till the very end"

Even though it pains me, you're my girl

You poured out your soul
After we became "friends"
But never dated another
But I knew how you loved following trends

Because I know you, you're my girl

I asked you one day
But all that you said
Was "I'm sorry. I just can't explain.
The situation is way over your head"

But I had my doubts, you're my girl

You disappeared from my life
The following day
I called your old job
Your old home until May

But I knew you weren't missing, you're my girl

A year later
I stand here today
I finally found you
Love's powerful that way

Ours is because, you're my girl

I look at your grave
Tearing up in the rain you see
You learned you had cancer
Right before you broke up with me

You tried to protect me, because, you're my girl

But even in death
I love you more every day
And to me you're alive
In my heart and memory

So I wrote you this song, since, you're my girl

I leave these few roses
Blue, since you hate red
But I kissed every thorn and petal
Until they were stained the colour you dread

I love you, you're my girl​

*single tear*

 

[Dormouse]

I think I'm depressed now.

 

[Sparrow]

Dude. You just made me cry. That was heart wrenching. That was the saddest thing ever. Jesus Christ, I dont get why. Fuck.

 

[Fukyo]

You people are so sappy.

 

[cheese]

Is this a true story?

 

[RubberDucky451]

Reminds me of

YouTube- Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day

 

[ckm]

You people are so sappy.

I read the comments first - while read it I was agreeing with you, until the last couple of stanzas.

Reminds me of

YouTube- Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day

I love that song.

 

[Words]

I believe the woman made an error in her decision. Easily speaking the truth could lengthen their being together. Haphazard deaths I believe are more psychologically damaging(for the man) than Slow, but expected deaths.


But that error is used to manipulate reader's emotions. It served it's purpose but not a very good purpose.

*stands up and gives a standing ovation*

Ah, *wipes tear from eye*. That was beautiful. Now I have to go get high

 

[Melkor]

Urgh...this is what my younger siblings would call disgusterous.

Away with you closet feeler and latent daydreamer!

 

[Auburn]

reminds me of...
YouTube- Immortal Technique - You Never Know Lyrics

 

[onthewindowstand]

This actually reminds of something that I did and regret. It wasn't exactly like the poem but it does remind me of it anyway.

 

[Kellhus]

I think I'm depressed now.

Don't be. *hands you a cookie*

 

[s0nystyle]

[final-dimension]

beautiful song...

Obviously, some people seem to think that what this thread needs is moar necroposting. That's probably true, but not specifically for this thread.
Anyway, the poem/song contains too many unromantic phrases to really touch me. Could someone please revive Shakespeare and have him rewrite it? Thanks in advance.

If this story is true i'm sure that she would love you all the more now, and if it not that was really touching
