Why

Abigail Roberts 1984 (Great Falls Montana)

Should I save my poems
Why do I always throw them away
Because I dont believe in myself
Today's just another day
But I believe in you
You're heart so true
Eyes baby blue
Everything so new
Thinking of the times we blew up
The scene
To smoke that sticky green
With me and you there's no in between
But I'm sober now
AMD your testing in peace
I gotta be a soldier now
Let me drop to my knees
And say a little prayer for you
It's what I'm meant to do
I miss you
