They Are These...

They Are These...

A Poem by E.j.aka.Hannah

This is story, a song,

a tale of three dear friends,

Dear friends of mine,

Who took my weeds,

And turned them into vines,

So listen close and listen well,

I'll be ringing the loudest little bell.

 

Betty was a fighter,

An Irish lass with a heart of stone,

Her hair was blonde and her eyes told her tone,

She played the boys like a fiddle,

And her daddy like a harp,

But don't let the bloody claws fool ya,

Her teeth aren't all that sharp,

 

She said to me,

"Hannah dear, your biggest enemy is your fear."

Through the parties and the dancing,

The animal in me was raised,

She brought out,

She pulled out,

She made the biggest part of me.

 

Johnny was an angry boy,

His heart inside it knew no joy,

After our friend was buried in the ground,

He made no more happy sounds,

But the best memories were made,

In his green Pontiac,

Johnny and I,

We were two beautiful maniacs.

 

He said to me one day,

He said, "Hannah girl, you need to be free,

You need to complete what you were meant to be."

And we screamed, and we cried,

And we got over that boy who died,

But we sang to his victory with raised yells,

And my sins and fears were drowned in those wells,

He made the bravest part of me.

 

Bobby was boy inside the man,

He was the savage inside the soldier,

His red-brown hair, I remember,

Cascading with his beard down his shoulder,

No job, no ties,

He always joked he'd rest when he died.

Guitar songs mixing with the ocean tide,

Bobby was the man who never lied.

 

And Bobby said to me,

"Baby, these walls, they have to fall."

And through the fights and screaming,

I finally found the man behind the meaning,

And I ran, and I smiled,

He pulled me through the tiresome miles,

And he made,

He made the strongest part of me.
