#286 Lynsey Nichole Poem by Jimmie Arrington

Was it all in my head or was it real?
The burning says it was true.
Were those nights perfect and ideal
Or was I just dreaming with you?

It seems I know very little these days,
Facts are blurring with fiction.
But one thing that’s clear within the haze
Is my heart’s new conviction.

I thought I could never feel again,
Life was a waning, dismal song.
But suddenly within the stormy rain,
It seems you’ve proved me wrong.

Did you know my heartbeat skips
Every time I hear you speak?
And when a giggle escapes your lips,
It echoes in my mind for a week?

Though you fly on someone else’s wings,
I’m drowning but not sunk.
Cause no matter what the future brings,
I’ll always be your Cattail Punk.

Tonight as I picture your beautiful face
I can’t suppress my silly grin.
And in another time or another place,
Who knows what could have been...
