Either Write Something Worth Reading, Or Do Something Worth Writing-Ben Franklin (original) (raw)

Heylo all!! I am new to this community.

Here is a poem of mine to give y'all a flavour of my musings.

The Only Deed That Makes Me Cry

You can beat me, you can bite me,
You can rip my life to shreds,
You may cut me, you can whip me,
And destroy me till I’m dead.

You can hurt me and betray me,
You can shout and you can lie,
Do whatever your heart pleases,
None of this will make me cry.

I will please you, I will tease you,
I’ll bow to your every whim,
In my joy I’ll make you happy,
Without you my life is grim.

But please tell me that you love me,
Promise me that you will stay,
I without you am in tatters,
I can’t bear to see the day.

We were happy, we were perfect,
You know that our love was rare,
Lively, vivid and electric,
Bringing sparks into the air.

And without you I am garbage,
Every day I toil and weep,
I am tempted by sharp objects,
And tears drown me in my sleep.

So come, make my life worth living,
Wake perfection back to life!
Into strong and sweet affection
You and I can gladly dive.
