Hello, everyone. First off, thank you for getting past my extremly boring summary - if you've done that - congradulations! These (As I said in my oh-so-boring summary), are a bunch of poems I have made about Sweeney Todd, and maybe a few about Mrs.Lovett. I understand that the wording in some may be similar, but the focus of the poems are different. Many more poems are on the way, don't worry, all you have to do is review (But I'll rant about that after you've read this). I have very recently gotten in to the habit of writing poetry, I never have before. That being said, I'm sorry if they aren't tht good, but I did try very hard when writing these. These are my personal opinions of the character Sweeney Todd, and the way I believe he feels under-the-surface. He is such an emotional person, and my heart completly goes out to him. Am I the ONLY one who want to give him a flyingtacklehug?
Anyway, I don't -and never will- own Sweeney Todd or any of the characters. The poems, though, are mine and mine alone. This will go for the rest of my poems,just becuse I think everone knows I don't own anything, and it's a pain to keep typing this out.
Sweeney Todd
A ghost of a man.
One who is scorned by the world,
Shunned aside by society.
Forgotten by all except one.
She comforts him, helps him.
But he doesn't see her,
He doesn't hear her,
He never does.
He can barely see past his rage and sorrow,
But when he does, it's only to see blood.
She longs for him, she needs him.
But the demons inside of him
Won't release him
From their evil clutches.
They only show him anger,
They drive him to insanity.
And he can't do anything but obey,
And she can't do anything but watch.
There is no helping him,
It's a lost cause,
He's too far gone now.
Into the shadows,
Into the darkness.
Nobody can comfort him,
Not even her,
And she hates that fact.
All she can do is stand by and
Watch this man fall.
She cries, but nobody sees her,
Nobody hears her.
This is the curse of
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
If you've gotten this far without being bored yet, THANK YOU! Now, I won't know you have ever read this if you don't leave me some evidence. Please review to show you care. ;)
