Pop Poetry: "Flax" by Gem Club

leave him as a boy 

his laugh divides the day in two 
let him dream of birds 
i wish i was more like him 
instead i'm shaking in the sun 
he came in a wave 
his wings were full of songs 
white and unafraid 
i wish i had known him then 
i wish i was more like him 
anyway i'd love to see you there 
outside that place someday 
and secure i hope to see you there 
outside yourself someday 
anyway i hope i see us there 
outside that place someday 
and secure i'd love to see us there 
outside ourselves 
someday
