Tiernan Booth Poems

Who am I?
Am I a ship in the sky?
Am I one to leave my heart on the line?
Who will I be?
...

Superman come save me,
I'm calling out come take me,
The walls are closing in,
Superman the air's to thin!
...

Maybe somewhere there's a handbook on why,
Heroes don't teach everyone how to fly.
Maybe they're scared we won't use it for good,
Maybe they would if they knew that they could.
...

I found this one philosophy that nothing lasts forever.
Now because of this I was afraid to show that I love you,
I was afraid that not only might you not love me too,
But I was mostly afraid that maybe..you do!
...

If I had a piece of jewelry for every friend that I've lost,
My fingers would no longer consist of skin,
But rather the metal of every ring.
My arms covered in metal and iron things,
...

The funny thing about funny things
Is what's funny to you isn't funny to me
And what funny to me is thought to be
Crazy and unimportant, that's why it's all unspoken
...

The love songs that you hear,
They are all fake,
It's cause we're lonely,
Life is boring,
...

We've all got broken pasts, we're all afraid that something just won't last,
We've all got broken hearts, we're all holding back cause something's tearing us apart!
But I want your good I want your bad, I want your happy and your sad,
I want your time I want your "PLease don't say goodbye"
...

Up in the clouds, I believe there's a crowd of Angels.
They watch over you and me,
Wherever we may be!
To the good lord they have vowed,
...
