Cassie Wise Poem
Write me a song or two
Make sure this melody
Is all of troubles, doubts, and fears
So, base these notes on me
Write me a narrative
Make sure your words are bold
With heart-break turned to copper wire
So you may bend my soul
Write me a special poem
Make sure these catchy rhymes
Believe in nothing but false truths
And act like love's a crime
Write me a symphony
Make sure the sweetest sounds
Are nothing of reality
So I may turn my life around

Cassie Wise Poem
I am a sidewalk.
I am new, freshly paved.
I am solid.
I attract attention,
Even if only for one unmemorable moment...
Before you step on me.
I don't pay much notice
To the footprints, the evil soles
That come solely to harm me.
To use me.
To ignore me.
I take one for the team..
I mean, I am here for safety.. right?
I am here to protect,
from cars that come speeding down the road.
I am here to help others avoid danger...
My friends.
My users.
But it hurts.
It hurts to be walked on everyday.
No one needs to thank a mundane sidewalk.. right?
But oh, they do.
I am old now.
No one can deny that I have cracks all over.
Blemishes.
I have helped so many,
Seen so many,
And I am worn.
I am sick of seeing the bottoms of your shoes.
Help me up... please?
I know I have become gray,
And weathered,
And my gravel is coming loose.
I'm damaged.
However,
Won't one pedestrian,
Just a single soul,
Take a moment of their time,
And just thank me?
Thank me
for
being
their
shield?

Cassie Wise Poem
Open your wrists
Let the blood leak out
In a crimson river of tears
Allow it to fall
Upon tile grounds
Making the color unclear
Open your mouth
Let a scream slip out
And echo against lonely walls
Allow it to linger,
To fill quiet airs
Then back in your ears, let it crawl
Open your mind
Let it cluelessly wander
With nothing clouded in your brain
Allow it to focus
On life or on death
And if scars will forever remain
Open your heart
Let it never forgive
Those who've caused wounds so deep down
Allow it to rage
Against misunderstanding,
Let it yell the loudest silent sound
Open your wrists
Let the pain leak out
In a crimson river of sorrow
Allow it to fall
Upon off-white grounds
And remember there's always tomorrow

Cassie Wise Poem
How could you not have died, my dear?
I've lived at least a thousand lives
Waiting for precious, velvet tears
To soak into this skin of mine
To soak into this skin of mine,
To seep into these veins i hide,
Waiting for these velvet tears
To, out of my blind sight, subside
How could you have survived, my dear?
My bones will rot before you find
My only known accomplice, fear,
Has long past seen the broad daylight
It's long past seen the broad daylight,
And stays in touch with you at night,
My only known accomplice, fear,
Has been exposed to much too bright
How are you still alive, my dear?
You said you'd kill to steal my heart,
The homicidal factor's clear,
My chest in shreds, my bruises dark
This chest's in shreds, these bruises dark,
Your once soft voice, a grueling bark,
Inevitably, this body grows stark,
Signaling this spirit's embark...
The second you tell me, my dear,
How could you not have died?
