A tragedy in four acts

Usually I just post my poems on here as a plain text but this time I felt the urgent need to speak the words myself. Sorry in advance for my accent, I'm, as I already said, not a native English speaker. Thanks for listening anyways.



A tragedy in four acts

Act one
A girl meets a boy
She’s a maid in despair
And he’s her knight
In shining white armor
The girl has not experienced
Kindness in what felt like years
So she can’t help but
Blush all the way home.

Act two
Fate is on their side
The girl, of course,
Closes herself off
Because who would love a torn heart?
Shattered in pieces?
But the boy does not give up
He makes her laugh
Every time she has a rough day
And every time his eyes meet hers
She can feel the world stop just for a second
While sparks fly around the room

Act three
The boy has to leave
He packs his things up
The girl still isn’t sure about her feelings
So she decides to let him go
Although she mourns
As he turns his back to her
And goes, off into a world
Without her

Act four
Shortly after, the girl saw the boy again
A gaze was shared
That felt as if it lasted a hundred years and more
Unspoken words between them
The years pass by
And the girl slowly learns
To be her own hero
She realizes she was truly in love
With the boy
But he has left
And maybe she wasn’t ready
To be held by a knight
When she wasn’t a princess yet
However, every year
When the date of the day
When they saw each other the last time
Draws closer
The girl can’t help but
Search for his face in every crowd
And little does she know,
The boy does that, too
As they are tragic lovers
Never meant to be together
But still bound by memory
And most of all
Love.

Writing poetry helps me to find a life of my own. Find your place, too, whether it is drawing or singing or writing, everyone has a safe spot somewhere.
