Hi Nerdfighters.
I was sorting through a couple of my old doctuments the other day, and I found this poem I wrote about Bones and Booth, after watching that episode where they break up. The first time. After Booth's brain tumor thing, where he has that vision of him and Bones as husband and wife, you know atI'm talking about... right?
Right before he meets Hannah?
I was SO angry at that episode that the only way i could calm down was to write a poem, (see me in Writer Nerdfighters)
So anyway, since I have no real life friends who like Bones, I thought I'd share it with you all.
The main thing that inspired this poem was this very line:
"I'm a scientist. I can't change"
- Temperance Brennan (Bones)
So... I hope you like it :)
Scientist
A poem inspired by the TV show Bones
When it precipitates
We may osculate
But what I’m feeling is just hormones
When it’s night or day
My thoughts wander away
I can’t be thinking about you all day
I chose textbooks over fairy tales so long ago
My laboratory is like my second home
I just feel the most at peace
When I’m here with my bones
Can’t you see that I’m working?
Can’t you leave me alone?
Whether we’re at the diner or the bar
My mind just wanders away so far
I can’t focus on this, on us
Because it’s all just happening in a rush
I am a scientist
I can’t change
I am a scientist
Sorry if you find that strange
Maybe we could try again
Someday, I’ll be ready
Maybe one day this rocky road
Will finally be steady
Yes, maybe someday
But for now I insist
I can’t
Because
I am a scientist
Abandoned, as a child
I guess it was my only hope
Science never let me down
Unlike some other people I know
And now the O2 level in the room has seemed to drop
My respiratory system is failing
I look into those irises of yours
And I don’t know what I’m saying
Now I’ve gone and let you go
Perhaps, my biggest regret
How hurt you looked when I let you go
Perhaps, I will never forget
I want to stay friends
I want to make amends
I don’t want to forget you just yet
I hope you understand
The very thing I can’t seem to comprehend
I am a scientist
I can’t change
I am a scientist
Sorry if you find that strange
Maybe we could try again
Someday, I’ll be ready
Maybe one day this rocky road
Will finally be steady
Yes, maybe someday
But for now I insist
I can’t
Because
I am a scientist
I think this is all because we were moving too fast
I need to get my thoughts sorted out
Organize my emotions, until I know
What this “love” is all about
But when I discover the truth
It’s already too late
You moved on and so should I
But I can’t just yet
I can’t forget
I guess that you’d say that it’s fate
But I don’t know what that means
I don’t believe in it at all
Maybe it’s not as it seems
But it’s too late to pick up the phone and call
But maybe, after all, I can change.
I am just a scientist
Conclusion: love is strange

I'll take critisism, Nerdfighters!
If you liked it, tell me. If you hated it tell me. I'm always open for improvement!

Permalink Reply by Neha Rahman on August 13, 2011 at 11:31am Yeah. True. But I don't think she's a very poem-y sort of person, so I doubt real poem could capture her.
Oh well, I tried.
