Drown My Sorrow

Once in a while

You meet someone truly amazing

Of a kind you've never seen before

Of a life you've never experienced

Of a love you've never known

Once in a while

This person will want you

In an awkward kind of way

In an absolute way, and ambiguous way

In a way that makes you love

A man you've just met

A boy you'll wish you never knew

So a heartache of the unusual kind will leave

So obliteration will wait just a little longer

So the man in the jumpsuit wont see you kiss

So fear and love remain two polar opposites

Instead of flipping upside down

And the only difference is a thin line

So thin, it breaks when I step

Yet connects when he flies

When he should have sunk

When he left me hear, alone

To wonder if I ever knew him

To not realize he was my one true love

To not know

Never know

Who Donnie Darko was

Is

All I know is that I mourn his death

And I never even met him.


Disillusion: I do not own Donnie Darko or anything affiliated with that movie. If I did, this poem would never exist because I would never have seen it because the movie would never have existed, so it's a good thing I don't own it. I know I'm happy with it.

AN: Poem by Gretchen Ross about Donnie Darko. Not my usual style of poetry, so tell me what I need to improve for future times. Criticism is excepted (is requested), but please do not tell me it is bad and give me no reasons. Thank you.
