remembrances failing
my little girl legs can’t walk this distance for much longer
finding perfection in the days of my naïveté
in the days where the thunder symbolized God was bowling
i always wanted to bowl with Him
even though i proved my score could never top yours
how foolish
and even more we have become
eyes blinded, we tend to dance freely within all this fake light
our hearts could never manage to surface
when your tongue continues to weigh me down
in the smallest of surprises
the flock of geese overhead in the midst of all that conversation
we’re going somewhere better,
it will be somewhere better
how could i know?
we were so far,
i had no idea that all those childhood appearances would falter me in the end
would be my living support
no, why can’t i admit those faults
no, why can’t you agree to let me steer this
on out of north wales
we’ll go anywhere, i’ll take you anywhere you want to go
say the word, you know,
you know
she doesn’t deserve to see the way you look at me
intentionally, i wanted you to be mine
i didn’t know what i was getting myself wrapped into
how could i know?
i had no idea your perspectives were so narrow,
how foolish
and even more we have become
the consequences being laid out right in front of us
i could have placed them within the palms of your hands
“take your pick, let me know”
what’s best for you, lets forget about my heart
lets forget for tonight that things like these matter
why should i stop talking to you, of course it’s all just for show
let
me
go
remembrances failing
my little girl legs can’t walk this distance for much longer
finding perfection in the days of my naïveté
of strawberry covered kitchens
and books that i drowned myself within
i thought i could have made it out of here alive
how could i have known?
children don’t understand how to handle themselves
within fields and fields of greens and sparkling yellows
and the sun was always shining
reminding me of songs that have never been sung by anyone in particular
change, it embeds itself like a knowing wound
pushing and pushing farther to break the skin
a little girl doesn’t deserve to be broken so soon
that hope was placed secretly within the rubber of that tire swing
i’ve never forgotten the days where it seemed so easy to say everything was going my way
this is why i’m selfish, and worthless in the end
this is why, why
i couldn’t have known
i couldn’t have
everything builds on top of everything else
how foolish
and even more we have become
i didn’t know things could be like this
once it all crumbled down

i would simplify this to one theme and the thoughts are really jumbled. Try to think in perspective to what your reader will think and whether it will make sense to them knowing what they know

I like poetry that just streams out of the heart, and that is what this is like. It is very real.
