I'm still wondering if I should publish those few... three, I believe... poems that I love but have absolutely nothing that I can find that relates to the Hunger Games. Should I put them in? Help!
Anyways, here's poem #13. I've been on a roll with publishing and writing the past few days, and it might not always be like that, so enjoy it while you can.
This poem is free-verse. Gale's POV, takes place during the seventy-fourth Hunger Games, when the star-crossed lovers from District 12 are first introduced to Panem. Enjoy!
I'm dying-
Without you
Nothing exists.
I need you
Now
With me
Please, I beg of you,
Before it is too late.
I need you
More than ever
But you are ignoring
My pleas.
I see you,
On the screen,
With him.
Not me.
I need you,
And deep down inside,
I know; you
Need me too.
But on the outside,
All you see
Is him.
Please,
Please see-
You don't need him
More than me,
Please,
Please know-
I need you
More than I show.
Please,
Please come-
Come back to me,
Away from him,
Back to where your
Life begins,
I need you.
With me.
Now.
I beg,
I plead,
I scream,
I yell,
I torment,
I destroy,
I tantrum,
I need you now-
Right now.
Because
Without you-
Comforting
Helping
Healing
Hurting
Breaking
Creating
Sealing
Loving-
For I am-
I'm begging,
I'm pleading,
I'm screaming,
I'm yelling,
I'm tormenting,
I'm destroying,
I'm tantruming,
I'm dying without you...
