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...

Last week I shorted you guys and didn't give you a poem from a character's POV or a new scene from RED . This week I'm making up for it! This poem comes from Jackson's POV and it's a little out of his character. Anyone who remembers Jackson from A Tragic Heart knows that he has the rep of being the cool brother; the laid back one who Taylor confided in. Well, he's the same person in RED only this time Peyton (Taylor and Peyton's daughter) confides in him instead. Usually he's the upbeat, awesome uncle/brother everyone loves but this poem shows a more somber side to him. It's a side you never see much of and he only lets it out in private. Here's Reminisce : Sidenote: If you missed the previous poem you can view it here ! In my mind I can see your face so clearly The years went by but it all still feels the same I can live an eternity & I'll still miss you severely  Nothing can replace you, none of my fortune and fame I ...

Another week, another poem and scene from RED . Being that it's New Year's Eve, I think a poem about making mistakes and trying to learn and get better from them will be appropriate. We all have something we want to work out for the New Year. This poem is from Adalyn's point of view. It's called Mistakes . If you missed the poem from last week you can view it here . Mistakes are lessons Mistakes are certain But it's always ugly revealing what's behind the curtain He wasn't ready for it Neither was I But I caused it and left us to die Mistakes are normal Mistakes cause heartache But I didn't mean for his heart to break He was never there And I was lonely In my heart, he's my one and only I did something that I can't take back  There's no way of erasing the facts But where's forgiveness when you need it? I wait by the phone and I sit and sit Mistakes are things we all must make Mistakes are the th...
