This is a creation of my own. I have found that there are meme's out there for short stories, but this one I created to use 12 songs and create a poem for each song. It can only last for the song, and it does not have to make complete sense. It is about putting into words what you see playing in your mind while you listen. The only rules I make is that it must be poetry and use 12 songs. Other than that, it is completely open to all who want to try it.

Disclaimer: the songs used belong to their respective owners. I only own the poetry that came to my mind while listening to these songs. No flames or harsh comments. Constructive criticisms welcome. enjoy.

I will remember you by Sarah McLaughlin

Memories come pouring down

Running as they go, passing by

The flood overwhelming the eyes

Precious times shared with people

Times one was hurt

Missing the good times, cherishing them

Hurting deep inside, knowing the truth

Sleep far away, calling softly

Screams heard inside one's head

Love won and lost, wisdom gained

Bleeding hearts pouring out feelings never realized

Fear playing on your heart like a bow on a violin

Hiding in your hole, trying to save yourself form the world

Coldness felt, warmth needed

Weeping, silently stilled

Candle in the wind by Elton John Princess Di version

Thank you for your efforts

You will be missed

You were there when others desperately needed you

You life ended too soon

God had called you home

You were caring and giving

You will never realize the impact that you had

Tears fall as we remember you

Leaving behind two small boys

Both of whom looked up to you

You set a shining example for others to follow

No one could ever replace the emptiness you leave behind

May you now find peace, the peace that you gave to others

Your compassion bled through and through

We will never forget you, nor the impact you had on the world

You left too soon, but we will remember you

Beautiful night by Paul McCartney

Traveling through the land

The stars shine brightly

But not as bright as your eyes

The moon glows over head

Shining down on you and I

We picture in our minds our happy ending

My night is beautiful as long as you are with me

We no longer need wonder

We are in love and belong together

I will comfort you when you are scared

The sky is clear, and nothing can stop us

The stars are shooting vibrantly as we kiss

We are all we need

The fireworks are going off in our honor

The sun sank to give us privacy

The night is ours and nothing can ruin that

When we are together, it is a beautiful night

I am Superman by the Academy is…

I know what is going on with you

I am strong, resilient

I am the one you need

I know you better than you know yourself

I can see through your lies that you tell yourself

I will find you if you try to hide

I don't do this out of spite

I do this because I love you

My love is stronger than my might

My powers may make me super

But your love makes me human

It makes me feel like I belong here

Don't take that away from me

Minnesota by Chad Elliot

The cold winter freezes the wild

Here I sit alone in a little frozen cabin

Dreaming of you

The frozen stars shine brightly

Reflected by the frozen lakes and trees

Winter has come

I miss my loved one

He was my warmth

I sit here wondering what happened

The cold moon laughing at my sorrow

The wind howling, laughing as it blows

Scaring me, as I am blind

Blinded by the love I miss

I have no one to comfort me

The love I knew is long gone

I reach out to him, but he no longer reaches out to me

His restlessness waking him from the nightmare

No, not a nightmare, a fact

He is gone, gone for good, gone forever

Silence is Golden by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

I shall keep quiet

For speaking has hurt many

I loved him, but that matters not

I now see him, tears in his eyes

I long to reach out

But I know he will not listen to me

I knew she would hurt him

How could he fall for her lies?

In silence, I sit here

Wondering if I could have done more

But knowing he will never hear what I say

He left a deep wound on my heart

But I still love him

I will keep silent even as I watch his agony

Unhappy, I walk off, crying my own tears in silence

Always seeing but never understanding

Remember When by Alan Jackson

Do you remember

The time we spent together

The time we met

All the silly things we did

How compatible we were

The memories flood our eyes

Filling us with joy, laughter, and tears

Remember the good times

And the times we struggled to get through

The strength we had together

The bond we shared, creating even more links

Our hearts became intertwined, becoming one

Our eyes locked, each reflecting the love in the other's eyes

Our trust was solid, solid as a rock

Nothing was more special than our love and each other

All these many years behind us, serving us well

Now that we are old, these memories mean so much

Our love, still strong, still holding onto each other

Love conquering all

Place in this World by Michael W. Smith

Where do I belong?

Can you hear me?

Where do I go from here?

I am lost, confused

The world continues moving, with or without me

My light is gone out, darkness surrounds me

I fear, I fear what goes around

There are so many with loud voices

Am I even heard, amongst the crowd?

Tears fall as I struggle to find my place

Directionally challenged, I plug on

Hoping to reach something, something out there

Something I am missing

I want a purpose-filled life

But where do I find that

Especially when darkness ensnares me

Consuming me in fear and doubt

Courage has run off, needing to return but not sure when

Help me find my purpose

Unchained melody by the Righteous Brothers

The gentle waves slowly cover my

Enveloping the sorrowful soul

Care is taken

Time drowns out all the senses

Fear is long gone

Drowned in the sea of tranquility

Peace fills the heart

Love drifts aimlessly from one point to the next

Never knowing where it will stop and pool

Rivers of calm sweep through the valley

Encompassing all those contained within

Broken promises heal, as the current washes over them

The billowing sea of love and tranquility grabs those in its path

Sweeping them away in ecstasy

You don't own me by Leslie Gore

I defy you to contain me

The chains will not ensnare me

I am freewill, bound by nothing

I am my own being

Freedom is my right

Many sacrifices, one goal

Freedom for sentient beings

Free, exploring, curious

Not holding back, as nothing can be withheld

Rebellion is those who dare to go against the flow

Through rebellion we all grow

More certain of who we are

You must love me by Madonna from the musical Evita

I am lost, you still love me

I am pained, death welling up inside me

Weakened, I am no help to you

Concerned, I say nothing

Fear prevents me from telling you

I offer little, yet you give so much

How can you still love me

Weak, dying, ill, nothing changes

Death surrounds us, yet you falter not

Please, please don't leave

I can't last much longer

Please, love me, as I lay dying in your arms

Almost honest by Josh Kelly

The secret still lies dormant

Unable to bring myself to tell you

Out of love, I hid it

The sacrifice cost me too much

Though I did not want to lose you

Through not telling you, I did lose you

The pain coils around my heart

To protect you, I gave you up

I hide myself from you, seeing the pain in your eyes

I could not be honest, fearing that you would be killed

You are my weakness, and my enemies would know that

I was trying to save you by losing you

If you knew what I knew, you would understand

Because I love you, I let you go

Almost Honest, the only way I knew to be
