Globalized

You don't know if you can pronounce her name

And you're wondering if she can do the same

But no one cares because its a crying shame

The way she looks to night

 

And you wonder now like you wonder then
If you could stay with her until the end

Or if maybe you could even begin
Until you both see the light

And you take a moment and close your eyes
and wish the world wasn't so damn globalized
And you wonder why in the world you just pass on by

 

Because she's on a plane going to Tallinn
and you don't know if you'll see her again
and you didn't know there could be and end
for something that never even started

Well you look at her with the moon in the sky

And the bright stars that look, just like her eyes
and you wonder if it would be too much just to ask

Then you take a minute and close your eyes
and wish the world wasn't so damn globalized
and you wonder why the world just passes you buy

 

Well she's on a plane going to Vietnam

and you didn't know that you didn't belong

And you tried to think of one last song
to sing to her tonight

 

And they wanna say that its all in your head
and you wonder if you're better off, better off dead

Because you followed the road straight where it lead
And it didn't lead too far

And you take a moment and close your eyes

and you wish that you weren't so paralyzed
and that you could see the world through global eyes

 

 

Because she's on a plane going far away
And you have no idea what to say
When all you want to do is to tell her to stay
and you're not sure if you will either.  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A peom I wrote when I lived in France and this girl told me she was going back to Vietnam. Its Way WAY WAYYY lyrical style. The meter and ryhme scheme is almost nonexistent. I really want to put this to music one day. I'd Love feedback!

Interesting Write

Meter is pretty consistent, rhyme scheme are easily mended, but these are sprinkled nicely and do not draw attention to themselves in cadence or content which is a plus. A great ending line.
