A New Day Promises This

 

Butterflies in stomach

Old sores re-opened

Everything went smashingly

Worried about nothing

 

Children hanging together

Laughter filling the room

A good time at last

Much overdue

 

Feeling of pride as he walks

Remembering my own experience

Feeling a slight form of pity

Knowing the fast forward button has already been pushed

 

Good Intentions

Alcohol and no listening

Misunderstandings

Makes me not want to talk

 

Past Hurts Resurfacing

Feeling Helpless

Can only Watch

Because no one is listening

 

Pretending now

Let’s go swimming

A good time?

No, it’s raining.

 

Chill Now

Let your brain go away

Thrice the movie,

Still nothing to say.

 

Fishing and Smoking

The air is still thick

The drive home, pleasant

Talking about the future

 

Another moment to put behind us

Another one to file away and forget

Back to reality and future things to come

A new day that promises this.

Very moving. I really liked:

Another moment to put behind us
Another one to file away and forget
Back to reality and future things to come
A new day that promises this.
