Rockin Chair

On the way to the hill, those three boys walked down the gravel way, sharing a can of corn. Its so funny it stings my eyes, to truley realize what we lost. this laughter hurts, this knife in my stomach to much. If sorrow, then what after,  ive felt sorrow, agony would sympathize and debate. Friends, it doesnt say to well. I  thought we'd always be together, so i thought id give my kid one of  your names for his miiddle. You think someone died the way things are know. you two wont  speak, so none of us do.But i still have it, and i still smile about it. that future gone further from reality, then were the wild things are, my simple little wish that was so small, it would seem a miracle wasted. In me is a kings misery, who watches kingdom crumbles in front of his eyes, for this mediocre dream of mine.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i still call them brothers, i still love them. i still get caught in the moment and think, wishing. and if my blood thin then my strenth thin, and i may cry a little. These are two that iv'e lost, but wont forget. Sometimes the scar on my knee catches my attention.
