Background Music

by Lesslovedthanloathed   Aug 20, 2008


I'm like the subtle tune
At the back of your mind
I sound like the distant rain
Before a storm

Softly, gently whispering lies
Into your disheveled mind
Like a summer breeze
But like a winter song

Its me thats keeping you warm
You tap you fingers on the keys
In a simple harmonious melody
Playing the notes you hear

Careful not to break the softness
Carefully so it won't just crumble away
This is the sound of your background music
Listen carefully for that familiar tune

Only now you realize
The tune you had heard so many times
Was the sound of my heartbeat
In sync with yours

Now admit your defeat
Forte! You cannot decline
You know its true
Yes, I am your background tune

Are you willing to lose your pride?
For it was I all along
Playing your background song
And yet you've never even suspected

Before you knew it
That tune took over you mind
The topic of every thought
Driving you crazy with desire

    I liked this, to me though it could have been shorter as it really doesnt give me a portrayal of anything. But i liked the words you used and the imagery it does give off.

    I like this one. I'm not sure how you really meant to portray this, but reading it, I get the image of that little voice in the back of your head or being enveloped in thoughts of a crush. Both can be consuming, driving things that move you without you really even wanting to. They invade your mind and control you.. This poem really highlighted it with the imagery and varied vocabulary of descriptive words. Good job.
