Clouds

A Poem by Katie Kistler
"

This would be easier with you here
That's what I always think about
I've watched that video so much
Just to remember how you felt
Under my hands
Against my back
Around my neck
And on my shoulder
But I'm growing numb
And I feel still
And I'm so bored
And I feel colder

You said hey kid
What are you running from
And why would you run away
From people that you love

Hey kid
The world is bad enough
Without you running away
Because you're scared of love

Sometimes the world's a scary place
And the things that feel like home
Will push you far away

Sometimes the world's a charming face
Inside the very body
Of a girl who feels so fake

This would be easier with music
With your voice screaming in a crowd
So I listen to our favorite songs
Try to recreate the sound
In my head
And in my veins
And in my chest
And on my tongue
But it's so hard
When all that's left
Is all these echoes
Of a hum

You said hey kid
You made the choice to leave
You packed your bags and left
And said goodbye to me

Hey kid
You could have had it all
But you gave up your life here
For another one

Sometimes the world's a fucked up place
That gives you what you want
And takes you far away

Sometimes the world can make mistakes
And set you up with people
Who were never meant to stay

Was I meant to stay
Or was I meant to go
Why don't I miss you more
Than I should right now
Why do I say I'm sorry
When I'm not sorry at all
I'm not sorry at all

Hey kid
I'll be back one day
To sing songs with you
And play the silly games we play

Hey kid
You can let go now
It's the beginning of the end
So come down from the clouds

Come down from the clouds

We don't have to say goodbye
If it would make you cry

Goodbye
