PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I built a fence around my friends
But I’m stuck on the other side
I want to climb
Up to the moon
But I’m stuck to the ground, I’ll be leaving soon.

I’d build a gate if I had the tools
But my hands are sore
So I’m leaving you
I’d come on back if you’d say the word
Seems I’ve cried wolf and scared the herd.

Sun up on an empty field
Escaped with the moon as morning nears
A gateless useless empty fence
I’ll paint it blue to match my tears
Then jump inside to sit and wait
Accept what have I instigated

And at dawn
The sheep kill the shepherd
Who swore he'd protect from the wolf
The blood on his hands won't make up for the years
That he gave to them all
No no no!

And I’m kneeling here.
I’ll beg for forgiveness
I’ll beg for the moon
To give it to you

And I’m howling
Just a silhouette
Got blood on my teeth
And it tastes like regret.
Yeah it tastes like regret
I’m upset.

I built a fence around all my friends
But I’m stuck on the other side.
