A
face
, a place,
a room
, a jacket,
some gloves,
a dog
, and the snow.
These all remind me of a warm space I’d like to go.
What was once warm is now cold,
and soon is becoming that of old.
That which is old I wish was new.
Because it would be time spent with you.
I am not motivated anymore,
to reach for that high score.
I do not want my grades to sink,
but I just can’t help what to think.
It hurts me so deeply when we are not near.
My heart is empty and falling apart I fear.
I know I must continue and try my best.
It just feels so hard with my heart not at rest.
A veil of stupidity covers my face and makes me do things that I soon
regret.
But I learn from my mistakes and remember so that I will never forget.
If I want to see my hopes become reality,
I need to stop and think about my mortality.
Some of the things I do seem good and fun,
but all they do is corrupt and stun.
I do not wish to continue these acts of stupidity,
but I just can’t help the want to escape this morbidity.
This temporary escape does not help to fix.
It only gives me short lived kicks.
Most of my actions do not end badly.
I can’t bear to think if one ended in tragedy.
You got me out of trouble and kept me in check.
Without you I struggle nearly breaking my neck.
And now I end to something which I should obey.
For the simple reason that it may save me one day.
A wise old saying once said look before you leap.
I need to heed its warning before this hill becomes to steep. |
