[Poetry] Terrible Things (An adaption)

This is an adaptation of a song by Mayday Parade, called Terrible Things. It's actually a song and not Poetry, but I feel poetry fits it better than other original.


Son let me tell you some terrible things,
Life is harsh and there's no going back,
But I tell you this,
Because I son I believe,
That your truly the greatest,
Thing that ever happened to me.

Now boy let me tell you a terrible thing,
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks,
So don't let the kids cry, tell them of me,
Make sure they know I'm in a good place,
Now let me tell you a terrible thing,
I truly believe that you,
Were the greatest thing that ever happened to me,
And I can tell by your eyes that your sad about me,
But boy don't be sad, I love you forever,
Don't let the kids feel bad about me.

Now kids let me tell you a terrible thing,
Your mother is sick,
She's only got weeks,
But don't feel sad now, she loved us three.
I want you to know that she's in a good place.
Now sons,
I'm only telling you this because life,
Can do terrible things.

Son let me tell you a terrible thing.
I'm fallen in a trance and I'm out of my mind,
I took a little bit too much last night all alone,
I had a little fun with some terrible things,
Don't ever do what I'm about to do,
Forgive me god and bless his heart.
Now son, I'm only doing this because life,
Can do terrible things.

Now brother let me tell you a terrible thing,
Dad got sad and he some bad things,
He came to me and he said one thing,
Don't ever do what he did to me,
I'll show you this scar,
But don't feel bad,
Because is this the last night,
That we have to deal with this.

Boys come here,
Boys come here,
Show me your hands.
I have a drink for you,
Please take and enjoy.
Drink it now slowly, and don't feel a thing,
See your life flash away, but don't say a thing,
Your mother she loved us,
I think we owe her,
A visit above.
So drink it up slowly and fly away,
See the light up ahead, go straight towards it now,
Inside the light your mother waits for us,
So drink it up, drink it up,
Don't say a thing.
Trust me I know it's sad but I think,
It's good for the body, and good for the soul.
Boys, I'm only doing this because life,
Did terrible things.


If I make another one of these, I'm just going to make a thread that contains all my writings, and any new writings will be added directly there.
