Split Your Heart, Not Your Tongue

I've actually been excited to create a poem from Alex's point of view for a while now. Alex is a very interesting character and I think he brings a fullness to RED . He's the antagonist in so many ways but he isn't all bad at the same time. Anyway, Alex gets himself into a pretty nasty situation (I won't give it up) and that's basically what this poem is about. Hope you enjoy it. And if you missed the last poem you can view it here . I'm one second away from tearing off your clothes Even though I know much better than this It's the way your eyes look, the way your hair flows I want to add you to my list Isn't it okay if you act older than your age? I mean, who would know if you don't tell? Let's give a performance in my room, my bed will be the stage  I'll buy whatever it is you're willing to sell And I know this is supposed to be wrong But I bite my lip and stare anyway And to think it all started with a s...

So this is my first music post on this blog and I'm so excited because I plan to do things like this more often. I recently announced on my Twitter page that I would incorporate more posts about pop culture and it just so happened that current Queen of Pop, Little Miss Sunshine herself, Rihanna, released her new single featuring Kanye West and the legendary Sir Paul McCartney. Now everyone has an opinion about this song (as they should) because it's ENTIRELY different from anything else Rih Rih has ever done. I, for one am glad about that. If I got another "club banger" or radio friendly EDM song I would've just quit on modern pop music (okay, not really but you get what I'm saying). Point blank, I think FourFiveSeconds is great. Is it a masterpiece? No, but it's genuinely good music. Rihanna's voice is strained during some parts but it fits the mood of the song. I've waited for the folksy, acoustic sound in a pop song for so long now it's ...

New week, new poem! This one is coming from Ronan's POV and it's a bit of a love poem. Ronan is Peyton's love interest in the novel but their relationship is nothing short of rocky and passionate. There's so much love there but there's also a lot to worry about. RED will be out on Valentine's Day and you can check out the final cover for it here (just click on the word "here"). For now check out My Defeat and if you missed last week's you can view it here . Today I saw the clearest view The best part of it was looking at you You're someone I could love forever But that's only if you give us a chance to be together We can take it slow if you'd like Because I know how much you love to put up a fight That's one of the many things I love about you It's never easy, no matter what I do And you're my favorite song on repeat You're my demise, my defeat There was just something about the way you ...
