Reading some of Romance Hero's magical poems inspired me to spend a bit of my time writing some, so here's mine, not really a poem but more of a song.
Throw me on the cold hard ground,
Send a shiver through my soul.
You're holding me in captivity,
But please won't you let me go.
I can't stand the suffering,
But I still don't want to know.
Grip the bars and loll my head,
My baby's sad at home.
It's so hard to forget,
That three summers ago,
I woke up in the dead of night,
To answer the call from a prison phone.
Alone and desperate,
I'd listen to you sob,
Asking yourself,
Why it was a policeman you had to rob.
So suddenly the world,
Turned from black and white to grey.
My faith in love seemed gone for good,
But my baby made it seem okay.
Two bricks hold my eyelids down,
Ropes constrict my chest.
A light cascades onto my face.
I'm only hoping for the best.
A rusty screech soon fills my ears,
And freedom shows itself.
Now I'm racing down route 106,
Turning right and leaving hell.
When it comes to love and kids,
The patient always fall.
I quickly snap the handbrake down,
Slam the fly-wire through the frame.
Then I see my baby there,
I've been breathless till today.
Oh baby don't cry
I'm gonna be home soon.
Endless oceans won't hold me back,
From coming home to you,
Please baby don't cry,
I know it's hard to do.
What with mummy gone,
And no one to rest your shoulder on.
But be strong,
And baby don't cry.
Oh, baby don't cry.
Throw me on the cold hard ground,
Send a shiver through my soul.
You're holding me in captivity,
But please won't you let me go.
I can't stand the suffering,
But I still don't want to know.
Grip the bars and loll my head,
My baby's sad at home.
It's so hard to forget,
That three summers ago,
I woke up in the dead of night,
To answer the call from a prison phone.
Alone and desperate,
I'd listen to you sob,
Asking yourself,
Why it was a policeman you had to rob.
So suddenly the world,
Turned from black and white to grey.
My faith in love seemed gone for good,
But my baby made it seem okay.
Two bricks hold my eyelids down,
Ropes constrict my chest.
A light cascades onto my face.

And freedom shows itself.

Oh, baby don't cry.
