Tonight

By VagrantGypsy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Tonight a man I never knew is dead He only existed in my life as your father We’d like to believe he’s in a better place But sometimes hate and doubt can replace our once valued faith and We lose hold of everything we thought we knew. You can be my valentine any time you need a shoulder or a hand, everyday of the year Tonight we went out and celebrated for no reason, Just to make sure we were still young And that, has been my fondest memory of you so far Right where you belong, in your prime, with freshman girls gawking over you And it’s not fair that tonight you were forced to understand we are no longer children, Right when we got back from the arcade. I just hope you don’t become bitter, because tonight you were perfect and so was I Tonight I can feel my heat aching with you, Just wish that I could call and cry with you I’ll go to the wake and wear a black dress, and mourn with you Because tonight you had to grow up, But feel like an abandoned child. I just found a whole new reason to hate Valentines Day Written February 14th, 2002 © on Feb 18 2002 04:11 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
