We’ve all looked into somebody’s eyes
And fallen completely in love with him
Heard his cries
And done all that we can for him
But if we really knew what’s best
We’d let him go
There are times when we’ve all despised
Another guy for looking too closely at him
Stayed up until sunrise
To watch over and protect him
But if we really wanted him to grow
We’d let him go
Bedazzled by what youth implies
We’ve been a comfort and a guide to him
Hoping he won’t have a nasty surprise
Never the lows, only the highs – for him
But if we really wanted him to live
We’d let him go
We’ve thought the foolish man wise
When he lied that we should be with him
Had late night discussions and theorized
Why it’s right to be with him
But if you really wanted him to return
First you'd let him go
I saw when I reached into the skies
That at the end of the rainbow was a pot of lies

Beautiful write and the flow was perfect... right down to the last two lines. They felt a little disjointed- somehow disconnected from the poem, an afterthought perhaps? Your word choices are intelligent and the poery heartfelt. A lovely write and one I wouldn't hesitate to return to.

I would applaud this just for That at the end of the rainbow was a pot of lies if I could.
I'm assuming this is about having a son or something? Though I must admit I felt that it was a sort of boyfriend/boyfriend poem. whichit very well could be seeing sinse I haven't read your profile or anything I just randomly came across this poem so I do not know if you're a girl or boy. But that, in itself, kind of wouldn't matter if you think about it. But please don't. It would probably waste your time. Kind of like reading this. Or eatting pickles.
Good write, however, I really liked it. -
That was...fantastic!! The imagery is brilliant, so vivid. And the way you used the words to flow...that was amazing. This poem....was overall, brilliant, fantastic and amazing!!
