A BS (Britney Spears) Love Poem

I know many of you have probably heard select song's off of Britney Spear's newest album: Femme Fatale. Like them or not, they are of course an important aspect of popular culture to analyze. There are a few decent tracks, I will admit to liking, and the others are truly just amusing that they do in fact exist at all. However, as a die hard Britney fan myself, I know that all she truly wants is to express the feelings of love through music. She has always filled our ears, and our hearts, with lyrics that we can resonate with and have stayed with us forever:

Hit me baby, one more time...

If there's nothing, missing in my life
then why do these tears come at night?

Countin' 1, 2, 3, Peter, Paul, and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P, every body loves counting...

There just simply is no denying the power of her lyrics.

The songs off of her new album are filled with words describing lust, forbidden affairs, desperate passion, and of course, are written with skilled lyrical brilliance. But, of course with any pop icon, comes criticism of their work....

In order to defend Britney's cultural significance and her undeniable talent as a musician, I have compiled a love poem using lyrics from each of the songs from her new album and mashing them together into a piece of literary genius, if I do say so myself:

The train is boarding, you might miss it
And I should go, but I can't overcome
You set me on fire
be my prisoner of love
Your touch, burning me
If i said
for tonight, it's just the two of us
shame on me

You just cannot deny
all the reasons inside
Your breath like ghosts that disappear
Keep a secret, me and you

you're only a danger to me
break these chains that keep us apart

Body is on fire
I feel it burning and I know
I'm standing far too close
burns like ice

You told me I should stay away
broke the mold
take me higher
Steam me like a pot
full of vegetables


I do believe I have proven my point.
