Yesterday I came across this beautiful, touching and extremely moving poem “But You Didn’t”. Thought I should at least try to replicate one element of it...
Sometimes cyanide and happiness tends to be too gross and intolerable, but it would be a lie if I deny liking some of it and getting inspired! ;)
I still remember the day…One of the aspects of that poem I really liked was its twist ending. Well, I can only pipe-dream of writing such moving and touching content, but I thought I could at least give the twist-ending a try.
We were playing with our toy aeroplanes
Mine broke, crashed in a tree
You handed me yours, said,
“You like it much more than me”
That was so sweet of you!
I still remember the day…
It was prom night and your ankle was sprained
Yet you came, you danced with me
and with your one-legged funny dance
filled the ballroom with glee
That was so sweet of you!
I still remember the day…
When I joined aviation school,
Ma said “girls shouldn’t fly”
Pa said “be careful, my doll”
You? You gifted me that toy plane!
That was so sweet of you!
I still remember the day…
You said, “you always taught me
how to look at the bright side.
Today I ask from bottom of the heart,
will you be mine, be my bride?”
and you proposed to me a with a sunflower!
That was so sweet of you!
I still remember the day…
You were diagnosed
with high blood sugar
And I with cannibalistic tendencies
For the one last time,
That was so sweet of you!
Sometimes cyanide and happiness tends to be too gross and intolerable, but it would be a lie if I deny liking some of it and getting inspired! ;)
