BREATHLESS >[MCR]<

This is a poem about the night I went to see My Chemical Romance play live.

Hard to breathe
Burnt and breathless
Front row centre
Never better.
Oh so special,
Special guests,
Greeted warmly
Now farewell.
Sticky excitement
Chant flares to life.
Finally you are here.
Finally tonight.
Loud. so loud
But not loud enough
So excited
Adrenalin, here again
Oh so close
With that Mic
Guitars and drums electrify.
Through my blood
Don't stop dancing
Beautiful chaos
Poetic mess
Screaming lullaby
And the rest:
A drive with a corpse,
A song about a funeral,
Going to jail
And we're all Not Okay.
Energy through those strings,
Speakers
And theater screams,
Thrown right back.
Now we sleep
Sing that song
But not for long
Scream that loud!
Awakened now
Just scream.
Just scream.
Hearts beating piano keys
As darkness grows
And you just lay there.
That's OK you just breathe,
Breathe for us.
We've screamed to you
Still screaming to
I call out to you
But they all do too.
Spot light grows
Up you get
Not done yet
It hasn't stopped
We'll never stop.
Chapped lips
A beautiful voice
Now altogether
We sing in a hospital bed...
Hands in the air
Make me cry
But I couldn't be happier this night.
"Goodnight Melbourne!"
But we're not sleepy
Please come back.
Encore
Once more
Guitarist fingers burn.
Voices.
Familiar tone.
Back we go
Do you remember this?
I remember!
We all do now
Sing along with this crowd.
One more song;
Our famous last words.
All together!
Scream those words!
Emotions burning but I'm safe this night
No longer afraid
In stage light
Their shadows are here
They can cast upon me
I see you lying next to me...
Everything erupt
Just explode
Or dead?
Or dead?
OR DEAD
No! Were alive!
Oh so alive
Fireworks and fires now fit.
Feel the heat
Carrying on
And burning on
Burn forever
On my mind
And in my skin Forever this.
Breathless...
