Your Red Balloon

I’ve been missing you
Especially today
It’s your birthday
I’m going to our favorite place
Down by the lake 

I bought a balloon for you 
Of course it’s red
Your favorite color
Because you somehow believed it’s the pretties color 

So here I am laying in the grass amongst flowering shrubs down by the lake 
Holding your red balloon 
Lost in thoughts of brokenness 
Unaware of tears trickling down my face 
I wanna scream your name
It hurts too deep

Darling hear me please 
Although I don’t know how far heaven is 
I’m sending up your red balloon 
I’m sorry it’s smeared with blue tears
But it is filled with my love and our memories 
So be ready to catch it darling 
Your red balloon

I Am Anaya Date: 3/15/2023 10:19:00 AM Congratulations on all your hard work and wins! I am not a fan of balloons as they get stuck in the hills, I see them on the trails, but your balloon made for a beautiful and emotional poetry! I Am Anaya Login to Reply Fin Chuuk Date: 3/15/2023 6:45:00 PM Anaya, I am totally the same. Especially the mylar kind. I hate to see the birds and other animals get stuck on them. I did it just once with the latex but will never do it again. I buy them for home or parties but never flying them away. So I totally understand you. Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your visit and comment. :)
