Abi, you have inspired me--- I wrote a song of my own! It took my a loooong time though, and it's not exactly.... clean, so I guess, here's the edited version of my song!
Drink the Starlight
callin to me from the fire escape on 6th street
rusty metal creakin, shouts 'n leapin, askin can we meet
gettin off our butts, puttin on my sunglasses, runnin down to meet you
cranin my neck, rearview mirror check, askin what we gonna do
you say, 'let's drink the starlight'
sunset, fiery tongues of love like
heaven's below and hell's up above, I could
reach up and smudge the sky with my finger
a soft kiss and you touch still lingers
8 years old, laughin, wishin on stars and
actin crazed, like spittin on cars like me and you
hey, what we gonna do
when we meet again, i hang my head, scuffed converse toes
smilin while we suffer, road got rougher, burnin those high heels and bows
see your moonlit face and I know my place, speak you wisdom to me
you say 'it's hard to earn their trust, so sorry i lack lust', we break each others' bonds
and we are free
you say 'let's drink the starlight'
sunset, fiery tongues of love like
heaven's below and hell's up above, I could
reach up and smudge the sky with my finger
a soft kiss and you touch still lingers
8 years old, laughin, wishin on stars and
actin crazed, like spittin on cars like me and you
hey, what we gonna do
"not all who wander are lost"
so tell me then what is the cost
of being here with you
they say that icarus burned
I lack wings, but I have learned that
we're all burning too
so whadda ya say...? let's extinguish the flames
you say 'let's drink the starlight'
you say 'let's drink the starlight'
sunset, fiery tongues of love like
heaven's below and hell's up above, I could
reach up and smudge the sky with my finger
a soft kiss and you touch still lingers
8 years old, laughin, wishin on stars and
actin crazed, like spittin on cars like me and you
like me and you
hey, what we gonna do

Ooh, this is really good. I love the chorus especially!
(September 8, 2019 - 9:32 am)
Wow, Luna, I really love that! It has this really nice rhythm, especially the chorus.
(September 8, 2019 - 3:22 pm)
Oh gosh, Cassandra! Hi! I haven't seen you in so long--where've you been?
(September 9, 2019 - 2:57 pm)
Hi, Leafy! I just started high school, and I was traveling for most of the summer, so I wasn't on very often. I'll probably be around more when I get my schedule all sorted out. Nice to see you too! :)

LUNA THIS IS AMAZING! I'm so honored that I inspired you, this is absolutely incredible. It has such a nice rhythm and ~aesthetic~, I wish I could go listen to this right now! My favorite parts are "smiling while we suffer/road got rougher/burning those high heels and bows" and the chorus. Ahhh this is so good <333

It's sort of a song I guess... :T
perfect at points
.....................
you dont care, do you?
you tease me, play with my hair,
i always tell myself i'll make do,
when you look at me with those golden eyes, it just not fair,
why are you chasing me?
do you truly love this mess?
i break down to my knees,
you always leave with a, "God bless",
i will fight for you, live with peace,
my feelings for you wont cease,
i look at my feet, you lift my head,
asking me why i cry and live with dread,
i say that i dont know.
perfect at points, woah-oh,
my love is perfect at points, woahh-oh
hugs and kisses, to my man,
im your biggest fan.
while other girls fantisize about singers,
ill stick with my hoarse voiced Kai.
your hands with your big fingers,
when you touch my head, oh my,
my heart wants to soar out of my chest,
like we're at some kind of fest
the short girl and the tall dude
and the answer is yes, we will go for some food,
perfect at points, woahh-oh
my love is perfect at points, woah-oh
hugs and kisses to my man,
you know how im your biggest fan.
and when you lift my head,
you say, "Cutie." i shoot back a smile and say,
"marry me, this september,
i'll give you love, love and shelter,
i truly need you in my life, so, please,
marry me?"
you look at me and say, "sure, ill make it perfect at points."

Oh, wow, I haven't written poetry in such a long time....well, here it goes!
~~~~~
Lacquered crimson bloodwood,
Golden-seashell latches;
The scent of cinnamon, wafting,
Before a soft sigh falls from my lips.
Dragging through the streets,
Drifting, cobble stone adorned;
Fluttering like a butterfly,
On this day of frigid red and orange;
Yet, still warmth is found, somewhere,
Gently drawing me closer;
Away from the memories that I
Can never hope to forget.
I can only move forward, despite my
Inability to forget, but at the same time,
Painfully aware of the fact
that I must live in the present.
Still, as the chilled breeze blows
Through my hair, across my face,
I seem to return again
to that fateful
Autumn
day.

This isn’t really a poem, it’s more of a few random rhyming lines that sound okay together.
Paper birds and wispy trees
Roaring waves and silent sea
Fragile secrets, fragile words
Sunlit sky and whispered pleas
(September 21, 2019 - 7:11 pm)
Ooh, it's still really pretty and visual, I like it! Sort of a mysterious feel to it, like a hazy flashback, maybe?

French
~~~~~
A sweet, shrill song pierces the dawn
It rings out, trilling and curling
Like smoke from incense;
The tails of the words,
Cut off, like they never existed
Trapped in self-constucted
eternal prisons;
Indeed, like a caged bird
Whose beautiful song flies
With poise and elegance,
As if trying to take the place
Of her wistful owner;
Alone she sits, unlike the rest
With her lilting accent and
Rounded "n"s,
And choked "r"s,
And "h"s lost to the sands of time.
