Turn me into a metaphor Any metaphor, I don't care which one Either I'm the raging storm or the silhoutte against the moon I'm the sunshine on your wet hair or the rain drowing you I don't ask for your love Just make me into a literary device Pen me on paper That is the only way I'll feel alive When your words caress my presence even if your hands don't When I will be immortalized in your works I don't care if you stay with me for eternity or let me go I want you to remember me and construct me into prose Which maybe people will recall And feel something, anything at all I want you to use me to create that warmth That sensation that the lonely strive for So break my heart Use my pieces to scratch out words Use my blood to ink them into sheets I don't care what you do to me Just turn me into a ******* metaphor And store me in your poetry
Inspired by Not Marble Nor the Gilded Monuments by Shakespeare
