A Sense Of Life Lived According To Love (bling, shows)

Based off a recent family reunion.

A Sense Of Life Lived According To Love

The familys all here, we've got balloons
Fake smiles, hugs and burning barbeques,
Its been years and they pretend to care
Dotting each others sorrow with pink hearts,
As my little cousins play football in the yard,
"Someday you'll burn like the rest of them,
But give it time, it hasn't been so long."

We're all out under the sun burning alive in its light,
And I sit running my fingers through my hair,
Giving the answers they seek amongst all the questions,
I was always taught to respect my elders,
To call you father never daddy,
To leave you alone when sat in your study
Writing words I always hated,
To play quiet games when you needed to think,
And to shut the fuck up when you began to speak.

But it hasn't been so long, maybe I can let go of my hate,
And alot of times it does seem so misplaced,
I hear your voice in my head, judging every step I take,
I know I have nothing to prove,
Its just me, pretending to be a ghost resembling you.

Yeah maybe someday you'll hear my words in your head,
The soft cracking of my voice and the way I always tried to make you proud,
How I love you came to my lips but always fell away,
Maybe someday you'll hear my words in your head,
And how my voice cracks for you like a tree before it falls.

But I just write about shit that goes on in my life. I should write one about my love life "Forensic Files: Olympia".

Dude you got a talent, never stop writing

to me your poems always have an anecdotal structure. Which is nice because it shows you've found your style. The part about your cousins playing football is good because it keeps the reader grounded.
