POEM STARTER
Write a poem that is grotesquely romantic.
This could mean a poem that’s overly lovey-dovey, one that has a romantic theme but grotesque imagery, or something else altogether.
Who Were You With Last Night (ybtm)
Don’t make this harder
Than it has to be
You already know
You belong to me
I’ve got red on my mind
So please just come clean
I heard I heard
About you two creeping around town
Turing past our street
You’re both just one cut away from
A deep sleep
I tried to let go of my past
But then you stabbed me in the back
I’m obsessed
I’m obsessed
I’m consumed
Are you confused?
You should know
You should know
You belong to me
So don’t make this harder
than it has to be
Tell me who
Who were you with last night
Who do I have to kill
Who dared to go close to you
You should have no one else
On your mind
Except me and yourself
You’re acting really weird
Please just stay calm
I would never do
Anything to ever hurt you
Except maybe take a life
Or two
Look me in my eyes
Who were you with last night
I’ll hunt them
Down
Find his location and take him
Out
And I’ll never stop until they’re found
And laying on the ground no longer making any sound
I said I’m never gonna stop until they’re
Six feet
Underground
I’m obsessed
I’m obsessed
I’m consumed
Are you confused?
You should know
You should know
You belong to me
Look me in the eyes
And tell me who
Who were you with last night
Who do I have to kill
Who dared to get close to you
You should have no one else
On your mind
Except me and yourself
You’re actually really weird
Please just stay calm
I would never do
anything to hurt you
Except maybe take a life
Or two
Look me in the eyes
Who were you with last night
You were mine first
So who’s gonna die first
You were mine first
I don’t wanna share you
You were mine first
You belong to me
You were mine first
Don’t make me get the knife
Mane you look me in the eyes
Just so you can tell me
Who were you with last night.
