I am getting back into writing
I thought this would be better than fighting

Fighting my feelings inside
So I write them down line by line

My time away has been a struggle
So I hope to find a way to juggle

And balance my emotions
Through the commotion

That is my life

It waved it's hand across the sky
Like how a child skims their arms over water
Playing in the pool,
Gesturing towards the stars.

It's fingers tore into the surface
Paving a one way street in shadow
Forming branches whose tails
Curled into eddies,
Flowing out,
Propagated light like a spark.

The hologram of an infinitely long firework,
Left behind dust
Magnified into a world existing on the
Cusp of an invisible boundary.

Remember when we were kids,
you asked me
"boy, what you wanna do
with the rest of your life?"
I said "have a couple kids
with you as my wife."
Then you started laughing.
Said "that ain't never gonna happen." Ten years later,
now we both have rings.
Got the house and money
for baby things.
Getting ready to be parents
for the first time.
I say "I know right now,
things are going our way.
But baby, if I ever lose my way,
will you take me back
to my first broken heart.
Take me back to when I didn't know where to start.
Take me back to the country roads. Take me back to the town no one knows.
If I ever fall too far off track,
Baby, take me back.
