Swear

Clench your teeth

And bite your nails,

Hold your tears

When all else fails.

Your did your best

And that you’ll keep,

So draw a smile

And please don’t weep.

Goodbyes spoken

Eyes don’t meet,

Pull those shoes out;

Dress your feet.

Failure not intended

Neither was pain.

Scars never desired,

Yet no one’s to blame.

Collect the memories

In an old container.

If now's not the time,

Neither is later.

Life won't wait for us,

So how about at eight?

We can take our time

At always being late.

Take my hand

Kiss my eyes;

After you,

No more goodbyes.
