Hang me on the noose
Facing the sea
So I can watch my sailor come
Hang me for my crimes
Hang me for my sins of the heart
For I have tricked to many into loving me
I was only after one
Let my little pets watch
As I swing by that rope
Maybe their pain will ease
Maybe they will get their satisfaction of my death
Their voices plague my dreams
Their touch haunts me
Hang me by the gallows
Looking out to sea
To watch for the one my heart belongs to
The only one to truly win me over
When he makes port
Do not let him see
For he will surely die of a broken heart
I do not wish my pain upon him
Surely he could move on
Hang me by that noose on the dock
To watch my love sail home
Let my pets watch as i struggle for air
Let my girl take me down
Let her lay me to rest
Gather black roses and lay them around me
Set me afloat
Let her shoot a burning arrow through my heart
Let the flames engulf me
Let my sailor think that I had died of sickness
Let my girl know the truth
Let her protect him from the truth
Use make up to hide the marks from the rope
Cover me with a bit of earth
Push me out to sea
For he loved her just as much
Let my ghost haunt the sea
Not the earth
For the sea calls my name
Let me be reborn as a dolphin
Or a merwoman
Let me be apart of something else my sailor loved
Hang me from the gallows...
Let my pets watch and smile
Take me down before my sailor sees
Send me out to sea
And let my soul rest among the creatures of the sea
Please tell me what you think

Absolutely enjoyed the 'pets' and we have a viking funeral here every year
Lovely symbology employing love of the sea so clearly

very very long...lol. but the longer the more emotion. I love the way that the poem flows and how you dont have some cheesey rythming scheme. i think my favorite part would probably be "maybe they will ge their satisfaction of my death" because sometimes i feel like people would be happier if i was dead, or writhing on the ground, suffering. i loverz this poem, my dear

Surely I musn't stalk my sister of the soul just to be sure she still walks the earth? Love, let this be a good thing; he's coming home to you. And forget those little pets, for they loved what they could never get.

I really like this one, its emotional and though not set out in any coherrant fashion it still flows in a strange, beautiful way. It reminds me of Ghost Love Score and The Islander. Well Done, daughter

This is a deep and painful Wulf.....
It's raw, emotionally charged and speaks of loss and longing.
Wonderful writing hon
