Angsty Teenage Poetry #3

Poems by a Teenage Trenna

This series starts HERE.

He Loved Her to Death (17 November 1972)

He held her hand, Oh so tight
He came to visit her every night
Alone they were, in a world of machines
She was really ill, had something wrong with her genes
When he kissed her, his tears wet her cheek
She was dying, she was terribly weak 
As near he could, he lay close to her
But each movement she made, it would really hurt
Then silence was broken with a piercing cry
He cried, “Oh God”, don't let her die
The doctor came in and rushed to her bed
He felt her heart, no pulse, she was dead
The doctor moved away to let the boy pass
He held her so close and the tears fell fast
Then he ran outside and onto the street
Blindly he stumbled over his feet
Screeching of brakes, a shout and a cry
The accident was fatal, the victim did die
The funeral was short, they were buried together
Where they could love each other for now and forever

Never No More (20 November 1972)

For five long years she had worked in the town
But now the crowds and noise were getting her down
The rest of her kin had travelled away
Now she was off to the country, leaving today
Outwardly she looks strong but on the inside she's not
She had a fatal disease and suffered a lot
Behind her, she was leaving a fabulous guy
And today forever, it would be goodbye
As she walked along the platform, she felt her eyes swell
She decided that she would be catching a train to Hell
Then running footsteps came to her ears
She turned, he was there and so were his tears
He held her tight and begged her to stay
But she jumped onto the carriage and it took her away
He ran after the train and onto the line
He didn't see the train coming behind
The train could not stop, it was too late
Today this boy, had met his fate
When back on the train with a tear in her eye
She could only think of her love for one guy
She cried, “Stop the train”, and opened the door
Poor love sick girl, she lives no more

The King Most Free of All (11 December 1973 – Dedicated to All Mankind)

With wings outstretched he soars the sky 
And conquers the world in all but a few moments
He, that is king of the sky
Is the most free on the earth
One moment he flies with nature
Surrounded by forests, meadows and blue skies
Then in an instant he flies with destruction
The ugliness of grey cement and steel 
The sky is no longer blue
It is the same ugly grey as the cement
With dismay and pity, he passes by 
Humans, so it is said, only by other humans
Are gifted with power of the world, freedom and intelligence
I believe the bird, the most beautiful of all creatures
Is the most free of all creatures
Humans, with all their imaginary power
Will never be able to combat the birds’ intelligence
The who indeed, defeats freedom and wisdom!
              ONLY A HUMAN FOOL

He Came One Night, He Left One Night (1 November 1972)

He came to me like words do for a poem
Why he did so, I never have known
But he came to me one cold winter's night 
And we sat and talked by the fire light 
Each day he came and we loved each other
He kissed and lay with me until I became a mother
We lived in a beach house, with the surf at our feet
We swam in the summer and baked in the heat
We had left the pollution and noise behind
We didn't use machinery of any kind
We grew fruit on our land, caught fish from the sea
Together we did this, just us three
But soon my child grew to a man
And decided he’d travel to another land
So we were alone again just him and I
But alas, sometime, one has to die
We had no medicine, but for what nature provided
Then like a knife through an apple our life was divided
Instead of his warm touch when we lay in bed
I rolled over to kiss him and found he was dead

You Gotta Try (16 June 1975 – Dedicated to Myself)

Let the world go by
Let it just pass on by
Why, you don't even know what you've been saying
Go on let it just fly on by
Shit you don't even try 
What kind of fools game do you think you're playing
You just wanna lay back and eye life going by 
While your mind and body are rapidly decaying
Your eyes see faces that come and then go 
They’re doing and seeing things that you’ll never know
Go on, be the fool that you are, let it all go by 
And see if you'll regret it when it's your time to die
So you just think real hard and decide if it's true
That you're allowing life to slip past you
Then, do your best, but, be yourself
Don't dream or strive to be anyone else
Just don't allow life to slip on by
If even, just for yourself, you've gotta try
For you see, it's your happiness alone that you're delaying
You gotta try
You gotta try

Mick Jagger (16 June 1975)

 In miles only, he is so far away from me
Oh Wow, and so far far beyond me
He's practically everything that I'm not
But would like to be
It is said, that he is only human
Although I would tend to phrase that quite differently
When he sings, the entire world kind of vibrates
He sings, that he can't get it
But he gives us Satisfaction
Everything about him, stimulates one's mind
He’s cool, he has his own kind of sophistication
It's really hard to put down his way
His songs, Sweet Virginia, Star Star, You Can't Always Get What You Want
Are his as well as everybody else’s 
Yet they remain so undoubtedly individual
As does he
Mick
With all his fame, he ain't even a bragger
He just remains, the incredibly sexy Mick Jagger
