A poem in form of a song in form of a screenplay

Posted in Ali Sultan, Poems by Kunal Goel

Instructions

Play “why does it always have to rain on me?” By Travis
Turn the lights off
Open eyes

Side of her bed- Violin plays
Close-up of eyes
Her eyes sparkle
I am hugging her
Kissing the nape of her neck
I can’t sleep tonight
Why does have to always rain on me
It’s raining on the insides of her room
I fell in love with you when I was 17
Everybody is saying
But I can’t close my eyes
Her picture
Water is pouring on it
I can’t stand myself
Alone
All these days
Smiling
I lied to you when I was 17
You were the most beautiful of creature
I can’t sleep tonite
Because
You’re still so beautiful
Only to me
I can’t avoid your lightning

Why do you only rain on me?

-Ali Sultan
