two balloons

by antwan fields - Aries

mine is blue 
yours is pink
so i give you 
a wink
i hold mine in one hand 
and your hand in another
and the way they look at us 
oh, brother!!
my arm is around you 
you smile soft and nice 
moving in slow motion
i feel like ice
everyone looks at us 
wondering who we are
why we aren't at
a bar
they look at us 
and try not to
they ignore me
its you
but i look up at my balloon 
and i see 
that its trying to leave
just like me
i adjust it 
and look back down
youre watching me now 
with a big frown
i look back 
try to explain
but you shake your head 
then point to the train
don't let go 
of me or your balloon 
cause this isnt a good time 
to look at the moon
as i look at you 
im going limp
help me up
give me a primp
my left hand opens
my balloon comes sailing out 
i look like im going to cry
but instead, pout
then your right hand opens 
your balloon leaves 
for our balloons 
we both grieve 
they sail away
quick, to the moon
they're together, forever
our two balloons
