Three Poems I Wrote for English-10

Mom

Childhood feels like being in your mother’s arms.
Away from harm, unalarmed, and safe.
Warm and caring, always there protecting,
Nursing, cherishing you. Not a thing comes first.
You are her sun, brightening her day
With a smile that takes the pain away.
One special place inside reserved for mom.

Goodbye

I never thought I’d have to say goodbye.
I never thought I’d have to see this day
And as I watch you walk away I cry.

I don’t know how to stop you but I try.
I try so hard but don’t know what to say.
I never thought I’d have to say goodbye.

So every night I lay and wonder why.
‘Cause you and I can’t be happy this way
And as I watch you walk away I cry.

“I hope to be with you again”, I sigh.
Without you life will be black, white, and gray.
I never thought I’d have to say goodbye.

I wonder how you’d ever think that I
Could just stand here and watch you fade away
And as I watch you walk away I cry.

Inside I feel that I will slowly die.
I wish I knew a way to make you stay.
I never thought I’d have to say goodbye
And as I watch you walk away I cry.

Change and Rearrange

If I could find a way, for you, I’d change.
I’d break each bone and rip my flesh apart
And pick the pieces up to rearrange.

My cupids Arrow’s slightly out of range.
It missed, with every shot, your wounded heart.
If I could find a way, for you, I’d change.

I’ll cut out all the pieces that Derange.
I’d come to you again with a new start
And pick the pieces up to rearrange.

Writing you love letters, surname: Lestrange.
Using big words just to sound smart.
If I could find a way, for you, I’d change.

In our hearts, love that we wish to exchange.
With you I pray that I will never part
And pick the pieces up to rearrange.

This thing inside I feel is just too strange.
Learning to love you so is like an art.
If I could find a way, for you, I’d change
And pick the pieces up to rearrange.
