#20minutes - Hello Poetry

It’s so hard to stay when you’re so far away & I want to see your face just one more time Even in a great storm Cold, snow, rain, fog, or warmth I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms Even through all the pain & the screams of yesterday Bursting bombs, blown up tanks, war sounds ringing’ in my brain I still hear all the cries “don’t you die”… “you’ll be fine…” “Stay with me” … “you’ll survive…” “We’re gonna be alright…” I reopened my eyes, saw bright hospital lights Life support’s running thin, I no longer qualify I hear the Corpsman talkin’ when one of ‘em walks in and says “sir, you’ve had a very good fight… it’s time to call it…” Unable to move, with no strength left to lose I just let the tears slowly roll down my brui-sed cheek If it’s my last day and I’m placed in the grave I just want you to know I’ll still find a way, ‘cause, see… It’s so hard to stay when you’re so far away & I want to see your face just one more time Even in a great storm Cold, snow, rain, fog, or warmth I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms I said, it’s so hard to stay when you’re so far away & I want to see your face just one more time Even in a great storm Cold, snow, rain, fog, or warmth I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have you in my arms I’d walk ev-er-y mile to have youuu and to be with you forever… 05.30.2022 Every Mile 12:01am

There’s a crown with your name on it ‘Cause, girl, you’re royalty The feeling is simply amazing Red carpet for the Queen Real sweet - you’re my cup of tea My fine wine, a shot with lime, You make me stomp my feet Dancing every time & the feeling is simply amazing The shine in your tiara’s got me crystal-gazing Your smile in your eyes’ got my arm-hairs raising You wave and I bow, but my heart’s really racing Cause, girl, you’re royalty Red carpet for the Queen You make me stomp my feet & the feeling’s amazing (x3)

Seen by the Queen

There’s a crown with your name on it ‘Cause, girl, you’re royalty The feeling is simply amazing Red carpet for the Queen Real sweet - you’re my cup of tea My fine wine, a shot with lime, You make me stomp my feet Dancing every time & the feeling is simply amazing The shine in your tiara’s got me crystal-gazing Your smile in your eyes’ got my arm-hairs raising You wave and I bow, but my heart’s really racing Cause, girl, you’re royalty Red carpet for the Queen You make me stomp my feet & the feeling’s amazing (x3)

Look I know this may sound selfish or childish irealistic but I just Can't I need you to agree with me right now to just say yes say okay let me do as I wish Let me put off-- whatever I’m putting off Please For a little bit longer I don’t really know how to explain Standing in this silent/not silent house The sounds are almost distant Like they’re far away And I feel like there’s just too much going on Like, I can’t manage to start anything cause there’s too much to start So, I know it’s hard to conceive To understand this request As more of a mental health need, But if you could just-- Go along with it If you could just-- Agree That would help a lot So if you wouldn’t mind Just forgetting whatever you’re asking of me, just for 20 minutes Please and thank you.
