[Quick Author's Note: So, I actually just found this poem in my notebook. It's from 2009, actually...but it isn't half bad, so I figured I would post it. It's that sweet-spot in my earlier work: still far more rudimentary, but also not absolutely atrocious, haha.]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Somedays it's the sad songs,
That make me feel like I belong --
They're the ones that see me sanely through,
The days I spend without you.

Sometimes it's the happy songs,
That remind me something's wrong --
Sometimes it's the happy songs that make me cry,
Because it reminds me that our fairytale was a lie.

Sometimes it's the sad songs,
That remind me to be strong --
And sometimes they're the only ones,
That keep me hanging on.

Sometimes the angry songs,
Are the only ones that calm me down --
Because sometimes it's the love songs,
That pull me under and make me drown.

Somehow it's always the sad songs,
That make me feel like I belong --
And on the days I spend without you,
They're the only thing that see me through.
