Best Like Peas In A Pod Poems
Goodbye sweet friend it's time to go,
Don't act as if you did not know.
Now is the chance for me to show,
You have become my greatest foe
I'm leaving you at dawn.
Remember when we used to be
Like peas in a pod, you and me?
Now all I want is to be free
It's time I'm moving on.
The sun awoke to bless my sky,
Wind has given me wings to fly,
I'm feeling so free, I cannot lie
Turning I whisper one last goodbye,
As I'm leaving you at dawn.
Today has become my greatest test...
Find a field where my seed shall rest
Till when next year I'm a Dandelion pest.
That's why I'm moving on.

Like peas in a pod
Like birds of a feather
My twin and me
We stick together
Sharing the laughter
Sharing the tears
United together
We have no fears
My twin and me
Sister and brother
My twin and me
Always there for each other.
Four young fellas rode by around midday.
Sun was strong as whiskey scratching the back of a three day dried throat.
The three girls were out front and Ma came out pointing her loaded shotgun.
Riders like these and the hot sun wasn’t gonna be anything
but a barrel full o’ trouble.
They tipped their hats, asked for water.
Kitty with her blouse all open and them nubile breasts of hers just pouting
like peas in a pod just ready to pop.
Ma saw the way she was eying up that dark haired fella.
She just hollered at her to get her trouble seeking ass inside.
Ginny, the eldest girl, fetched them the water.
Seemed like they weren’t in any hurry to leave, so Ma fired off a shot,
whistled by the blond one’s ears so his horse darn near threw him.
Ma wasn’t the kind to tell anyone anything but once,
cos she said you can’t be wasting the Lord’s precious breath on hard eared scum.
They got the message well enough.
Don’t reckon we’ll be seeing them back this way again any time soon.
Goodbye Daddy.
I wish you didn't have to go.
We were like peas in a pod.
I still miss you so.
Goodbye Mum.
My solid friend.
Encouraged me to end.
My marraige.
Goodbye my husband.
I wish you well.
Here's hoping you don't
end up in hell.
Goodbye my babies.
One by one.
You left the nest.
Have fun.
Goodbye Jeaniemac.
You timid soul.
Isn't it wonderful
you've grown old?
Hello the new you.
Gosh, you're stong.
From deep inside
this poet was born.
Dear God, it’s me again
Hope you don’t mind my prying
But I needed to talk to someone
Cause I’m lonesome and I’m crying
You know I feel better
When I’m talking with you
Cause I can feel you holding me closer
Like you always do
Daddy is still cursing
And mommy’s shouting back
And my head is still hurting
And my eye is getting black
I know they don’t mean it
I reckon frustration takes control
But these beatings still hurt
Will I ever grow old?
Mommy still takes some shots
She says they help her get by
And they seem to help some
But later she only cries
And daddy’s been drunk
Going on three weeks
And I’m still hungry
But there’s nothing to eat
I don’t mean to bother you
But God, is this how life is supposed to be?
It just don’t feel right
And it’s getting so hard to see
We used to laugh with each other
We were like peas in a pod
But now we’re different
And there’s no sparring the rod
I think my time grows closer
To when I’ll be under ground
All dead and not moving
And for sure not making a sound
I wonder if by then
Will they really miss me
Or like sands on the beach
I’ll just be history
Well, thanks God for listening
I’ll say goodnight once more
And it’s alright right with me
If this time you close that door
You know the door I’m talking about
Cause you showed it to me one night
A few years ago I think it was
When my parents started their fights
Oh yes, I can feel you
And thanks for all you’ve done
And thanks for the memories
And for this last run
Oh yes, I know that you love me
A lad of just four
And I really don’t mind
If I don’t see this world no more
I can feel you holding me tighter
As I lay here in my bed
And I know I won’t wake tomorrow
Because I know I will be dead
We started to grow apart long before the current rift
It wasn't personal, but necessary if you read & get the gist
We were closer than a pair of lips long before I met betrayal's kiss
I took it personal & then forgave, I just could no longer take the risk
Like peas in a pod, we grew together & nothing can change that kind of love
Change is good despite appearances not seen by the naked eye
I flew the coup so I could soar & get a view from high above
I'm not better just more evolved, viewing the world through different eyes
I'll admit I'm self-involved, obsessed with being a better me
Our paths are different, so we had to split as we follow 2 different nodes
I planted seeds that needed to grow in order to see the forest for the trees
In spirit we're still together even though we arrived at forks in the roads
It was for the best & I hope you can see I carry no animosity with me
I just took a leap & developed wings, but I needed to jump for me 2 see
