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.
I really love this song, it reminds me a lot of how I used to be. Now, when I listen to it, it reminds me of a friend of mine who I love. (although he really doesn’t like it when I say that, so sorry! 😉 ) So, I thought I should write this Poetrics for him. After all, it takes one to know one ❤
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 White, the Lyrics are written in Turquoise. Beneath the picture, you can read the Poetrics as well.

Behind Blue Eyes – Limp Bizkit
–
You think that you can cover up
The sadness behind your eyes
Pain of betrayal
And countless goodbyes
No one knows what it’s like
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
–
You think that you are good
In keeping your feelings inside
Not saying what you think
Behind a mask you hide
No one knows what it’s like
To feel these feelings
–
You think that you don’t need anyone
Love is just an empty word
If you open up, let someone come close
You will only get hurt
No one knows what it’s like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
–
So you keep your distance
Shield your heart away
Because you think that you know
No one will ever stay
I have hours, only lonely
–
But I can see what you try to hide
Behind your eyes so blue
Real love and friendship still exist
Someday I will show you
Behind blue eyes
–
