Graduation

Robe on my brother

Robe on me

Tears in the eyes of my mother

Please don't let go of me

Tassel this way

Tassel on the other side

On the pine bark we lay

Don't let this be the last goodbye

Not enough hugs

Too many late shows

Crickets chirping like bugs

Please don't let go...

Cake like cardboard

Water for a few

Praise songs for the Lord

Please tell me to let go of you

Blue and white

Black and white

But red is all I see

You say just let me be

Spinning round and round

Will joy ever cease?

Falling to the ground

Don't you forget you please

Wheat thins and snacks

Cigars and heart attacks

All I think about

Letting go without a doubt

Writing this poem here

Drinking water from cans of beer

Warm Heart full and burned

Our backs now are turned

Letting go of everything

You've Let go of me

I'll let go of you

Starts shine brighter for three

The stars shine brightest for you

Each and everything you do

I'll never forget your show

Please don't let me go

This will be my last poem

This will be my last rhyme

Although I think I said that last time

No one reads them anyways

It's not like it matters anyways

What have I not said about you yet?

I try to write down my feelings

So they won't come back with threats

But there's always more words to say

I feel stupid for remembering times with you

For even spending time thinking about them

I know you'd think me crazy if

I ever showed you what I remember

I remember that day so long ago

Out at the playground on a night like this one

Glistening through the trees the white stars shown

A shared kiss and a heart bursting full 

I bet you don't remember that

I bet you don't care to think of things like that

To be honest

I don't know why I ever think of it

I see you now and you think of me a stranger

And I truly don't know why

You once knew me better than the sky

I see you know and wonder

If I should forget my most hero shed memories

But I don't think I could stop my mind from humming those symphonies

I pass by you and but you never see

All I think is that you used to smile for me

I should probably get some sleep

Or quit thinking so deep

But I can't and I don't know why

I've tried and tried and I try

I often question why this weeK

God gave so much pain to me so weak

When I woke in the night

With aching pain from the Devils delight

Al I thought of was you

I know that a broken arm goes numb

When I held hands with you

You couldn't take my pain away

But i surely forgot it was there

It hurt so bad this time around

Because al I had to look at was the ground

Had I you here with me

All pain bearable would be

Sprog 2

I hoped for her - the perfect part
To suit my heart, it seems -
My whole, my soul, my second start;
My clearest, dearest dreams. 

She'd be refined, and cute and kind,
And fair of hair and face -
A calm and patient, mindful mind;
A gentle gift of grace.

And so she is - she's all I sought,
And all she ought to be -
She's all I always hoped and thought,
And not, at all, for me.
