Currents of Glass
Bury me
Beneath Currents of Glass
Underneath the overpass
On your way out of town
So you can take one last glance
And don’t look back
Forget your past
I’ll be submerged in a lake
Someone you forgot to take
Beneath currents of glass
You’re driving so so fast
On cocaine lines
Trying to hide
The ugly inside
Found your way into another town
Found a beautiful dream
Heard her echo scream
In ripples that drowned
All the way down
My stranger sister
Found in death
Who looked just like me
A carbon copy
Bury her
Beneath Currents of Glass
But not submerged in a lake
Not like me
Don’t leave her trapped like me
Set her out to sea
Set her free

Love the show series Criminal Minds.
Tying out some darker subject matter.
No worries - just a sad song story:)

This reads like a traveling serial killer, like a Ted Bundy copycat. Like the association of water and glass, killers like water for destroying evidence and allowing time to escape. Tight piece Lady

Dude!!
I have two of the characteristics of his victim type.
Brunette and petite. Poor women. I actually looked them up
online. So spot on - weird that you mentioned Ted Bundy.
I wrote this like a haunt in a song instead of a poem.
For some reason when I heard the words - but they
sung like a chorus to me.
Hope that doesn't sound too weird. When I write dark stuff it comes out like a song for some reason. I think that it's my subconscious keeping me from being too freaked out. LOL
Thanks for stopping by Me and leaving a comment.
Later gator!!

Nope. I ain't doing any of those mean ol things to you! I rather run you up to an ice cream shop, and get double scoops,and see who can keep it from melting down their hand! I'd lose, because I'd be laughing too much.
This is an awesome write! You seem to get inspiration from many sources. Very receptive of you!

Hey Styx!! Hahah
Thanks for going down this rabbit hole with me. Just trying different subject matter. Trying to flex my brain like someone I know:)
I don't know about two scoops Styx. Are you sure? I mean the noodle arms and all - I don't think you'd be able to hold.
Don't worry - I gotcha buddy. hahahah

Nicely put together, enjoying this darker side of poetry.
"You’re driving so so fast
On cocaine lines"
Those are awesome lines.

Hi LJ
Thank you for the encouragement:)
Wasn't too sure I should but wanted to shake things up a bit.
Diving into some disturbing subject matter.
Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.

Interesting submission. I like it I'm sorta drawn to dark art or well maybe my dark place. I'm not one to hurt anyone for sure except myself maybe. As I read it though I was feeling surprised because the impression I get from you or my opinion of you was and is a wholesome one but of course you clarified your reasons in closing so all well that ends well. I'm glad my impression was right that you're a sweetheart and not a evil vessel for wickedness. Lol Thanks for sharing sharing this.

Hi Z
I'm diving into all aspects of writing. Have been doing it for a while. Just haven't posted my darker stuff. I promise I am a well adjusted human being. LOL
Just pushing the limits of my mind and visiting some old stuff I wasn't sure I should post. Thanks for your snaps buddy.

You bet no problem. It's good to write about the full gambit of emotions and perspectives weather it be humors or spiritual or dark or fiction or whatever. I enjoyed the song lyric submission, and I'm somewhat of an adjusted person I'm not nearly as maladjusted as some may think by some of my submissions but however the case pushing the limits creatively can only spark growth and new ideas so I say go for it. I've read some of your work and I think you a well adjusted talent. Lol I'm looking forward to reading what you write or have previously written from the darker corners of your mind. A writer once said art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. So to that I say write on.

Re. Currents of Glass
Damn chica, I love it when you tap into the dark side. I got this serial killer vibe right away. "Beneath Currents of Glass, Underneath the overpass" That is just so darkly beautiful. I love how your mind works. "Who looked just like me, A carbon copy" they say serial killers have a type which is where my mind went with this first. Although there are many possible interpretations reflecting the depth of your writing. Loved it!

Hi Kristina:)
Just trying something different. Stretching my wings a bit on different subject matter. I just kept on having that phrase on my mind on repeat. The opening of this piece. It sung to me and started to manifest itself in my mind. Wouldn't it be so cool if at that moment I had a little ghost whispering into my ear singing this song. If so - I hope I did her justice:)
Thanks for the RL always lovely to hear from ya!!
