Some poetry:
The prologue on the album THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT by Taylor Swift In summation At this hearing I stand before my fellow members of The Tortured Poets Department With a summary of my findings A debrief, a detailed rewinding For the purpose of warning For the sake of reminding As you might all unfortunately recall I had been struck with a case of a restricted humanity Which explains my plea here today of temporary insanity You see, the pendulum swings Oh, the chaos it brings Leads the caged beast to do the most curious things Lovers spend years denying what's ill fated Resentment rotting away galaxies we created Stars placed and glued meticulously by hand next to the ceiling fan Tried wishing on comets. Tried dimming the shine. Tried to orbit his planet. Some stars never align. And in one conversation, I tore down the whole sky. Spring sprung forth with dazzling freedom hues Then a crash from the skylighs bursting through Something old, someone hallowed, Who told me he could Be brand new And so I was out of the oven and into the microwave Out of the slammer and into a tidal wave How gallant to save the empress from her gilded tower Swinging a sword he could barely lift But loneliness struck at that fateful hour Low hanging fruit on his wine stained lips He never even scratched the surface of me. None of them did. "In summation, it was not a love affair! I screamed while bringing my fists to my coffee ringed desk It was a mutual manic phase. It was self harm. It was house and then cardiac arrest. A smirk creeps onto this poet's face Because it's the worst men that I write best. And so I cater into evidence Mr tarnished coat of arms My muses, acquired like bruises My talismans and charms The tick, rick, tick of love bombs My veins of pitch black ink All's fair in love and poetry Sincerely, The Chairman of The Tortured Poets Department
