Picture Me

I’m a stranger as anyone.
The only thing that keeps me alive
is us belonging together, forever.

 

We go beyond our kind,
beyond the years we never shared.
This is someplace where time leaves me behind.

Only you would run this far,
while I am so scarred to move.

Can my legs find this kind of love and strength?

We all see the light someday,
but I don’t know when that days is.
We've got to find some place to stop the car, now.

That’s where we fly away.

Find some place to stop the car.
That’s where we fly away.

Find some place to stop the car.

Picture me above the clouds,

soaring in and out of your arms,

parting the clouds so your light will shine on.

 

Picture me moving my feet

Dancing and jamming to your heartbeat

As the ocean waves takes us out to sea.

 

That’s where we fly away.

Find some place to stop the car.
That’s where we fly away.

Find some place to stop the car.

 

Picture me looking for you,

In a dark and empty world.

You will be the moonlight that guides me home.

 

Picture me and you on a swing,

The sun is setting is the distance

We hold hands as we become nothing but stardust.

 

Even if I am gone before you,

don’t try to move to where I am.

Promise me that you will just picture me and smile.

 

This train that we all ride on,

has many stations along the way

Some arrive at their final destination sooner.

 

Even with a short drive,

to help us there, we must find

some place to stop the car, that’s where we fly away.

Very well done. Excellent wording, vivid symbolism and descriptions, and all together just a very well rounded and emotional poem. I have only one criticism, as I try to give everything I review at least one point that can be improved on. I think that maybe you should change the font size, and make it bigger. I was struggling to read this myself. Anyways, very well done. I enjoyed it. Keep it up!
