Forever Young – how I wish I was !!!

I found this somewhere in my computer. Its kinda old, but I felt like posting it… And before y’all read it, poetry’s not my thing… This was my high school stuff…. shake your head !!!

Look at you, running around in that cute little dress of yours

With a angel’s smile, you’ve tucked your hair beneath a hair-band.

A boy ten years old looks at you sitting on some concrete pipes

And he is too naïve to understand what is happening.

He looks at you and it brightens up his day.

He knows you’re happy, and so is he.

Your glow is so radiant, the boy is amazed

He sits there and looks at you, and smiles,

And he is too naïve to understand what just happened.

Time flies by, he keeps it all to himself,

And still when he sees you, he smiles.

Within him is a desire screaming and desperately agonizing,

But he holds it all, for he thinks he understands

Yet, he is too naïve to understand what had just happened.

The boy thinks he has it all figured out,

That if he held it all within, nothing would ever surface out.

For he’d rather be ripped within, he’d still force a smile upon his face

Than to ever hurt that little girl whose thought alone would make his day.

And he is still too naïve to understand what had already happened.

He knows his inner demons, and he knows he is weak

So he kills himself within, but lets you know not a thing.

He would go through hell just to see you smile,

Than ever have you shed a tear for mistakes he makes, certainly he will.

He would lock that box you opened within and throw away the key,

And he would force a smile upon his face, inside he’s been shred.

And he is still too naïve to understand what is happening.

He will never know exactly as to what had happened,

Still, he wonders and wonders about what had already happened,

He is too naïve to understand all that ever happened,

Too naïve to understand if anything ever happened!!!
