This poem is a syllabic, meaning each line has a certain amount of syllables. I also did an in-centos with Secondhand Serenade lyrics. If you have any input on how to make this have less lines from their music be my guest. And less abstract.
Serenade
Say,
“Hello.”
Greetings, my friend.
Don’t be shy
or make me change my mind
you won’t live to see another day.
My heart would love
to see how beautiful you are
‘cause a girl like you is impossible to find.
Come be my little princess in a castle, wrapped in crimson silk.
Couldn’t you believe that everything I did wasn’t just deceiving?
Tell me I was wrong for a guiltless twisted lie.
I’m torn to do what I have to,
to make you mine.
Cause today you walked out of my life
you don’t leave me tonight.
Stay with me,
it’s time to say,
“Goodbye,
May.”
Here is the REWRITE which has less song lyrics.
Serenade
Say,
“Hello.”
Greetings, my friend.
Don’t be shy
or make me change my mind
you won’t live to see another day.
I saw you there
across the street, oh beautiful.
You just needed convincing from a stranger to
come be my little princess in a castle, wrapped in crimson silk.
Embrace my decision, because from the heart I’m not deceiving.
Tell me I was wrong for a guiltless twisted lie.
I won’t take no for an answer.
I’ll make you mine.
You tried to walk out the door again
don’t leave me tonight. Why?
Stay with me,
it’s time for a
Goodbye
Aye?
