It’s been a while since I’ve made a Poetrics, but Imagine Dragons is my favorite band and “Wrecked” really speaks to me after losing my parents last year, so I had to do something with this song.
(Poetrics is a combination of lyrics from some of my favorite songs and poetry I write inspired by these songs. I take the essence of the song, the meaning it has, and write a poem on that. Then I let the lyrics of the song dance through the poem.)
Note: The lyrics always stay the property of the band or artist who wrote them. All the credit goes to them.
My Poetry is written in Italic, the Lyrics are written Bold.

Wrecked – Imagine Dragons
***
Days pass by and my eyes stay dry, and I think that I’m okay
.
But I am not okay and I don’t know if I’ll ever be
Ever since Death took you away
I am lost and searching for you desperately
.
These days I’m becoming everything that I hate
Wishing you were around but now it’s too late
My mind is a place that I can’t escape your ghost
.
I really don’t want to go to sleep
Of all the things I lost, I miss you the most
My nightmares pull me in far too deep
Memories demolish me night after night
I just wish you were here to hold me tight
.
Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away
One more rainy day without you
Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day
One more rainy day
.
There will be nothing left of me after a while
Why couldn’t you just stay?
I put on a brave face, straighten my back and smile
But I am a wreck
.
Oh, I’m a wreck without you here
Yeah, I’m a wreck since you’ve been gone
.
I am trying to go on without you
Reaching for another dawn
But my nights are dark and my days are blue
.
They say that the time will heal it, the pain will go away
.
You are in everything I see and feel
Sometimes I swear you stand in the doorway
Tell me, why does your death feels so unreal?
It’s like I will never be whole again
.
Tell me, how am I supposed to move on?
.
How can I just go on living my life?
I pretend I’m okay, but feel like a con
Memories cut through me like a knife
I am a wreck without you
.
I’ve tried to put this all behind me
I think I was wrecked all along
.
Unshed tears are suffocating me
You always told me to be strong
But without you, it’s not that easy
I miss your smile, hugs and advice
Love always comes at a price
.
I’ll see you again, my loved one
Yeah, I’m a wreck
I’ll see you again, my loved one
