Swiftly he swooped like a lark
I sit here and think
How many poems I've tried to write about you
How many words I've tried to use to discribe our situation
How fitting my efforts didn't fit
Reminiscing on passed times
only so we could watch time pass
Where are the times when it was just to be happy
and make our clocks spin swiftly.
I hate to say what causes most of our fun,
So a random memory I try to recall
But I'm just stealing lines from myself again
because this is just a poetic lie.
Monsters that ate at what little youth remained
you and I are what my dear old
Dr. Wolcott denote as "parenting children"
You and I have only realised what no one else has noticed
Just look at our parents today
Once they were in a mess but we got them past that
you say your gut twists when you don't know
but how can you eat knowing what you don't about both our futures
Babe, you can't live on dreams alone
I try but it's hard to not be sappy
when I say that when your eyes meet mine,
the twist my pills won't relieve vanishes
Why such a medical astonishment?
Only we know and we got it from each other's eyes
You may be the super star
like Mr. Hendrix, you're not just name, or money
but I'm the starved black Napoleon,
singing, CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES.
I hum with your stereo
and refer to you as my mother
but the good times are killing us both
I promise to not wake you as I disobey you and your trust
and to bed you go
with your blood racing,
your mind on gatorade
And how are jaws were clenched,
but what the hell did we talk about?
They used to ask you if it was your birthday
but they didn't know your role model
in way you are her,
But in a way you're the farthest thing from that princess,
that princess that I said would be on posters at your wedding
You once wrote as a plea
Stay clean, stay gold, and please save me
I'm sorry my life went wrong,
I broke and crumbled now which one of us is strong?
So a chorus of triumpth we both will sing
Before stars and paupers our melody will dance
Please swing with me one more time and tell me what you think of my thoughts
I like it when you do,
Your opinion highly regarded, respected, and needed
It's hard to not sound sappy saying this but I love how we're just alike
but worlds apart,
I love knowing you.
