Red Heart Balloon by Brynn Hall

Red Heart Balloon

You gave me a red heart balloon, that hot summer day.

But I let go accidently, and it ran away.


We chased if for miles and miles, with your hand in mine,


Your hand was warm and sweaty, but it felt just fine.


As we watched it float up to the heavens, a tear formed in my eye,


You told me that balloon was special, then quietly said goodbye.


I stood there for a few minutes, not knowing what to do,

When I finally realized, I really did love you.


I am older now, bigger and wise.


But sometimes I see that heart balloon, when I close my eyes.


I see you every now and then, but you never say 'Hi',


I'm sure now that I don't have you, and my heart slowly dies.


I wish I could go back, to that hot summer day,


When you gave me a red heart balloon, and it ran away.

That's a poem I wrote in seventh grade in Ms. Matthews class. We had to make a shape out of the little pipe cleaners and I made a red heart balloon. Please comment, I want you to judge this! Please be as harsh as you can! I will do anything to make this better!
