Off the Pebbled Shore (A Parody from Poe's "The Raven")


Sitting, thinking, while I'm sinking deeper into thoughts unlinking All my thoughts returning to that memorable pebbled-shore Happily I'd stand there wishing with the one I now was missing Oh the heart beat I'd be list'ning hoping it would beat once more Knowing full well she was gone, the girl I so long did adore The one I will forevermore As I sat there weeping, wailing, as i sat there arms unfailing, Holding her in my arms for, I knew I'd hold her nevermore Looking out across the sea, I sat there thinking why not me? Wishing I could only see her deep blue eyes look just once more. Longing for that moment when, we met beneath that sycamore That moment cherished forevermore Others tried to draw me in through spells of lust and guilty sin Tricks and spells of lifeless lust, the lifeless lust that I ignored Often in my my nighttime thoughts she comes saying "forget me not" Trying to speak my voice is caught, a horrible tormentor Always she is in my heart, even though hers beats no more For my love for her is forevermore
