Uh oh, Beck did some writing!
Yes, since I am in a Creative Writing class, I wrote a poem for an assignment today. The assignment was to write a poem to an instrumental or mostly instrumental song. I picked 'Clocks' by Coldplay. Sooooo, here goes:

Torrential Downpour

I just had to get outside for one minute.
I step under the pouring rain,
letting the droplets cool off my burning skin.
It's always too hot in that house.
Today you insisted on leaving the windows rolled,
and the fire stoked, like you couldn't feel the heat radiating
off your own walls.

And I hate to say it,
but you're stifling me.
Endless talk about the men in your life,
Your 20-something boyfriend,
your married fling,
your ex-who-so-desperately-wants-you-back,
until your rapturous babbling is cut short
by the sound of the phone,
and you wave me away to attend to
more urgent matters.

When we were younger,
we were the only people in this world
who mattered.
We'd run barefoot in our city that always rains,
never feeling the cold on our bare shoulders.
Until you started preferring the warmth of sunny weather,
and left me to evaporate.

Yep, that was my poem! Hope you enjoyed it! And if you didn't... you didn't, go ahead and tell me!
