When the light scatters in the grass As the landscape blurs through the glass. Every bump in the road lets our knees touch fast And I’m just so afraid that this moment can’t last.
Don’t want to forget all the things we schemed Of hugs and of hands raised in comradery. As I’m sat here alone I know that it’s ending, And I’m just so afraid that my heart will quit mending.
The last time I felt your hand on mine We were united by threads I thought (were a sign) Of some future we’d have if they’d (finally untie). And I’m just so afraid that we’ve said (our goodbyes).
Experimenting with Cummings' style of spacing. This poem is based on coming to terms with my friends graduating and our lives going in different directions post-high school.
