NightHawkA Poem by Jennifer PenningtonNightHawk definition: A term used to explain thoughts that don't come to mind until late at night...
In these moments
minutes seconds and hours I feel my stomach turn And curdle And sour I listen to a song I watch something on TV I see a girl that looks like you And im flooded with memories All I wanted was for you to be Alright... I would have done anything I could Day or Night All I wanted was to hold you Tight... To keep the promise I made And win the fight For you... But I lost Now you've got me confused The chatter around you grew louder Than the songs we sang together The images they painted of me Were closer and clearer Than I was allowed to be They made sure of that (Bad Influence) That's what they said That's what I am And its moments like these When I have cookies in my hand That I miss eating them with you And I regret not baking them more I regret being so tired from work And not playing enough when you got bored I regret not being the sister You looked up to me to be All I have left of you is a picture and a video And a heart that's trying not to scream I'm feeling so tired So exhausted in every part of my being But I'll still keep going I'll still keep breathing Just on the hope that one day You'll come back And tell me you never forgot Who I was... © 2018 Jennifer Pennington |
