In Outside we take the perspective of a lonely person that is trying to get attention. It’s about wasted opportunities and trying to cease the moment. Other that using stanzas I decided to make the text flow as one. This was to convey the muddled perspective of the poem. The text is below, but as usual it should be read as a Comic Book Poem with the visuals.
Outside
Do you want to know
How the rain sounds on my window
And the way I sigh
When you ignore my text messages
You’ll have to leap
Outside into a warm glowing place
I hope you know
The way you make me feel on the inside
It wasn’t meant to be
Even all that easy
But you know that struggle
Was wasted on a cold lonely man
And he was gone
When you came home for a familiar hug
There has to be a heaven
For a used antique smile
You should have never given up all that easy
But I suppose that’s how it goes.
