Terror

I fumble along the dark deserted road... Willing myself to move faster... My legs are like rubber, they scream at me to flee... For in this nightmare you are there... Waiting to pounce... It feels as though my heart will rip itself right out of my chest... Its beating so very fast... Terror stricken I lunge forward... Only to be met with a wall of steel... Must you torture me so? With your eyes of horror and pure evil... As I fall back on the hard ground, I cry out... But it is on deaf ears... Then you take your prize... What's left of my heart... For in this nightmare you are there... Waiting to pounce...

No way... I do like some opera as well and Classical is very soothing to listen to. I Do like to sing but I lack the confidence to sing in front of people. Lol

I know them all, I doubt you could find a song I dont know, and there is very few genres I do not like, and thats not only English, but other countries and languages as well! I play classical guitar too! I am the only one who can say I like 80's music, the 1980's, 1880's. 1780's. 1680's LOL

Lol you are too funny. Yeah I was really into alternative rock for awhile now more pop but Oasis will always be held dear to my heart. I do however like: Fall out boy, the Fray, One republic, Linkin Park. Oh I could go on...

OK its a funky video but loved the lyrics. I liked the hideout perspective. Ok so this song got me thru middle school and high school. I'm one of those who likes to repeat songs. Lol. Check this out: Wonderwall by Oasis. I used to be in love with the lead singer. Lol

Yes I meant for the lyrics, but by all means, would love to hear some music you like! I get inspired to write by music!

Meg Anderson

Lol, I get inspired by music as well. Its funny I can't get the song Animals by Maroon 5 out of my head. This song kinda inspired this poem, in a round about way. I like a variety of music. Everything except country. Another song which inspired this poem would be Boulevard of Broken dreams by Green Day. Check them out.

Liam, thank you. I was just trying to imagine what it would look and feel like if someone was running for their life. I am an avid reader of thrillers and I get a lot of good ideas from that.

Was it like a lover, like a song? Cause I listened to that. I was struck by the lyrics so honest. The sound is not my style but the message was true. Nice.

Hey Arthur, women are not so complicated. Its the men in there lives that complicate! Lol sorry to hear about the account. I would love to be a premium member but I don't want to have to pay. But I love to look at a picture especially a very detailed one and draw out words to express it. So being able to post a pic would be handy!

Awe you as well! Oh I have a question for you. Did you get that image thing figured out? It can be very frustrating when you are trying to do something you think should be simple and turns out too be really hard. I have trouble like that all the time.
