Forgotten out first love (forgetting again)

Running the race

Doing the time

Face to face

Giving a dime

Here and there

There and here

Down in fear

 Coming up the rear

What have we done,

In the confusion,

Pushed and shoved

Forgotten our first love

"Night" A song of innocence and experience

Night

By Nathanial J. Hesse

As milky roads blanket the sky spaces,

The sun and moon switch places.

Street lights turn on, like a wave through the city

Who knew metal concrete and wood could look so pretty

Golden sprinkles spread, across the deep black sky.

Taking a trip in a rocket ship, though I never quite knew why.

Battling a foe with a big black nose, an epic battle ensues.

Hiding behind a wall in my fort, like I’ve got nothing to lose.

 A stair way to heaven, glowing stepping stones,

Flashlight tag, and glittery thrones.

Lyra and Draco dancing a jig, cue the moon,

Fire and Ice collide in the afternoon.

Night

By Nathanial Hesse

As a black blanket full of holes drapes the sky in disgust I

Turn off the light, so I don’t see what they do when dusk draws nigh

As lights dim, I cringe at what goes on

When thieves lurk about with knives withdrawn

Pull the blinds! Bar the doors!

Get the guns! Keep out the eyesores!

Are the children in bed? Have you kept the evil out

Of their minds, to which they should know nothing about.

The moon is brighter the evil is over!

Just to make sure, look over your shoulder!

The dawn is nigh, the children are awake,

Twelve more hours, till the next outbreak.

Forgotten My First Love

You have, in fact

Been left behind

Kicked back

Throughout time

Closer to the rear

Then you’ve ever been

Stumbling over

What lies within

Dragged by the rope

More precious than thee

What have you

done to deserve me?

You hung on a tree

You were laid in rock

Only to be left behind

Like a tattered sock!

You took my shame

You broke my chains

You set me free

Now left in the rain.

Been here before

Push and shove

I’ve done it again;

Forgotten my first love.
