Peach Cobbler

I'll peel the peaches one by one And slice them when the peeling's done I'll cook them down in sugar brown And in the syrup you'll surely drown Atop the peaches I will cook A lovely cobbler in which you'll be hooked We'll sit together then Both hopeful that it never ends We laugh, we smile, make amends Sisters, friends, it all makes sense We're happy now, in this moment Though I must admit I never liked The peaches that you hold so high Still I find this cobbler fine As it brings together you and I ….Even if it's all a lie If I make a wish, it all comes true Could I still be me and you be you? I just don't think it'd work at all One of us would have to fall And I'm unwilling now to break To mend all of your aching weight Perhaps it's best we put it to rest This Cobbler, a lie, was all a jest A wishful thought, a helping hand One I knew would never land Still I can dream, a dream again At some point maybe I'll forget...

A slight little ode to Cherry Red, for Chelsi. Cherry Red's sister, we could call it. <3 I do miss you, everyday. Whoever you were, I miss you.
