LETTER 181 – GOLDFISH
GOLDFISH
© RYAN GUILEY
Sitting alone and thinking,
We will always be linking,
Nothing can break our chain,
Through the laughs or even the pain.
The air that I breath, I’m coping
I can feel your lungs open,
Hearing you call my name,
First time I saw you, it was fame.
Walking on the muddy grass,
I will not let this sit and pass,
I believe in you, and you know,
When I’m with you, we both glow.
It doesn’t have to be like this,
Even in a bowl that has a goldfish,
Swims and makes its habitat,
I won’t be a prisoner who just sat.
Why are they avoiding reality?
Because they are full of pity,
If measures were in place,
It wouldn’t be a disgrace.
I won’t let this ever change,
Making sure you are in my range,
Their platform will be the plank,
As they will drown and sank.
A goodbye, doesn’t exist with us
To let you go off into the dust,
I will still catch you to eternity,
You are my girl, born in this city.
Meant to be with each other,
To be a father and a mother,
To teach our children about life,
Also, to show them how I love my wife.
