Timeless

I wanted to stay there forever

Under that tree with you.

I wanted to lie there

Live beneath the sky's blue.

I wanted to look at the constellations at night

And name the clouds' shapes in the daytime.

I wanted to stay there

Timeless and free

I wanted time to stop

Static

Freeze you and me.

I wanted to talk to you

I wanted you to open up

I wanted to reach you

Love you

And stuff.

I wanted to stay there

Together as we grew old;

Timeless

And painless

Where nothing went untold.

I wanted time to stop

When you met my eyes.

I wanted you to come back

To see the sun rise

With me at your side

Like it was supposed to be

But this reality's not timeless

Not happy for me.

I wanted to stay there

In that desperate golden moment

Young and in love

But I'll never show it.

  • Teenhood

    There should be a word

    For ages thirteen through seventeen.

    There should be a word

    Like childhood or adulthood

    That describes

    Being a teenager.

    Adolescence is one, yes

    But it doesn't fit.

  • Schoolwork

    Schoolwork

    Homework

    How exciting.

    I think my teachers are trying to kill me.

    They assign lots of assignments

    Worksheets, sometimes a quiz

    Normally I wouldn't mind

    But I'm not a math whiz.

  • Irreplaceable

    Irreplaceable

    Is us

    You and I

    Together

    Joking and laughing from things like the weather

    To ghost cows and weird books and crazy ideas

    To fanfictions and emails and drafts we'll never send.
