This is my entry for "Lyrically Inspired Awards" hosted by _RandomCreativity_
Basically, it's supposed to be inspired by and based on a song.
Let me know in the comments what you thought! Enjoy :)
The music was loud,
toxic smoke swirled.
Not a coherent thought
could be formed or heard.
My friend, my enemy
this full, yet lifeless place.
Eyes follow my every move
in a never-ending chase.
My limbs roam
as I seduce the crowd;
I wonder if they hear
my heart beat so loud?
Hands grope,
old and young alike;
but I keep my mouth sealed
not wanting another strike.
The beat throbs in my veins
as I grip the solid bar;
as I twirl around,
my past seems so far.
Daddy's girl
is what they called me.
But now, it's accompanied
by a hasty fee.
The world dissolves
as I swing my hips;
when I think of what awaits,
my heart beat skips.
The blood in my veins
pounds strong for him;
but my body is not mine,
just another man's whim.
I'm on my own.
I've always been.
But my darling, you;
to a better life you'll lean.
Oh baby, oh love,
no one's gonna hurt you;
as long as I'm here,
doing what I do.
I was a fool
a long time ago.
The world just seemed better;
never been in love before.
Life is not fair
I know that now;
but one thing I don't regret
is simply how
without my cursed life
I wouldn't have thou,
to love and to care
and to hold right now.
It's been six years;
I'm ready for more
For your warmth, darling,
nothing's a chore.
You may not know now,
how safe you are;
but darling, remember,
you, with me, are.
The world is cruel,
But for you it needn't be.
So sleep, my darling,
Rockabye, baby.
