An extremely equivalent exchange.
Hey. Poems. Go. Here. Enjoy, comment, da da, da da.

Keychains
Our love was like a keyring,
Very few keys were really necessary,
But we couldn't stop, was the thing,
The empty ring seemed quite scary.
All we really needed was a house key,
To let us home, and a car key to get us there,
But the limited choice scared you and me,
We added all we could, from anywhere and everywhere.
So we added more, more and more yet,
Keychains to remind us of each other,
(Did she really think I would forget?)
I had one half of a heart, her the other.
Little symbols that seemed so very important,
But really just made using it a real trial, a test,
Never could find the right key in the instant,
Important things being buried under the rest.
Towards the end, we learned to trim down,
To cut free what useless, make the keyrings,
Light and new. Until we again began to drown,
In the emptiness, that was again the thing.
So we abandoned the rings, the keys we wore,
Around our necks, and it was the glorious start,
Of elegant simplicity, and what was more,
The keys are now that much closer to my heart.
Don't Look Down
When you think about it, use your brain,
Life is nothing more than a skydive,
Tossed naked from a moving plain,
From the second that we are alive.
Along the way we acquire clothes,
Friendships, relationships, good times,
But still each one of us knows,
What's at the end-there are no lifelines.
We all grow older, we all hate it.
The longer we live, the more we appreciate,
And the less time left to appreciate it,
Better stop counting seconds before it becomes too late.
Some, their fate they frantically try to fight,
Unknowingly bring their end faster,
The one with no worries as a feather is light,
To ponder the end is to fulfill disaster.
So kick back, relay, enjoy life,
The time left with your falling friends,
Is precious, so release the knife,
It will only lead you faster to your end.
Live, love, be loved, praise the day-
Don't in your sorrows drown,
And even if you are seconds away-
Definitely don't look down.
