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.

The H.A.G.

Obsession, it is a funny thing

It seems to take me over

My deep love for only you

You are all I can think of

All I could ever want, ever

Forever, I will always be here


My hands, stained with some blood

Oh, don't worry, it's not mine

It's from those awful people, remember?

The way they treated you horribly

I had to make sure...for you,

Forever, I will ensure your happiness


What is it, my precious love?

Why are you crying, what's wrong?

Is it the chains? Or possibly...

...No, you wouldn't miss the outside

It's too dangerous! Something could happen

Forever, I will always keep you safe


It's been a few days, speak!

You know I miss your voice

It's torture, being without your melody

I'm sure you understand, you will

Understand why I had to act

Forever, I will stay here, devoted


Oh, no, we can't have that!

Why do you insist on running?

But this is all for you!

I take good care of you!

...this is how you repay me?

Forever, I remain after your betrayal


Finally, you're staying here with me

It might have taken some time

You looked so frightened before this...

Now, you look serene, peaceful, happy

I'm glad, I'll always love you.

Forever and always, you'll be mine


[Song Inspo: The H.A.G. by Vane Lily and Apollo Kepler]
