Mad World
You turned my world upside down
And made a smile from a frown
When love was lost, another was found
I am so glad that you are around
With your words spoken softly in my ear
I feel as if we will stay forever here
The asphalt hurts when faced alone
Buried in your chest, security is felt and known
This world is mad but so are we
For time stops momentarily
The fast paced world rushes by
As fireworks light our once dim sky
We are in a world of our own
Where happiness and joy are shown
Not to be disturbed as we lay together
For what seems like a sweet forever
I'll tell you now – listen clear
I'll let you know – we're all mad here.
I dedicate this poem to Matthew, a man who has shown me kindness, respect, and most of all love. There's no one else I would rather spend Valentines Day with than you.
Yours truly,
Emily
