The Lamppost Poem by C.B.A. Reiss

Because its not really something
you say anymore, it's not
even something I hear.
Its just those words you wrote
On the lamppost one day
The words that you just made appear

I could ignore the name of
your band that you branded all
over my town,
it didnt make my heart slip
as I skipped
didn't at all
keep me down.

But the lamppost that stands
in my way each day now
stands up for you it seems...
Has started to make me miss
a beat and allows you
into my dreams.

But if ever I saw the lamppost
again without your writing on it
My dreams would break and so
would I as I've pinned some of
my hopes upon it

And I'll glance back at it,
Throw a look over my shoulder
just to make certainly sure
that this lamppost will
tell me for you for now
that it'll love me
forever more.
