Jacob's Song

Hello dear readers :)

I have not posted any new work for a while, and I haven't written any either actually xD But I did stumble on some poems I have written a while ago for my ongoing chaotic poetry project. I found this one titled Jacob's Song, written probably 2 years ago, I'm not sure, which I remember I did not like much at first. Yet as I read it again I realized it is not as bad as I thought and I like it a lot more than when I actually wrote it haha xD. Anyway, I will let this one to your judgment. I do hope you enjoy! As usual, make sure you let me know what you think, I always appreciate knowing your opinion!

Jacob's Song

My little Prince
My lost prince

In the coldest nights I wonder
What my life would be
If you were here with me

In the longest days I linger
Clutching to hope, thinking
We could have been together

I would have made a Prince of you
If just once I could've been with you

My little prince
My lost prince

I'll never forget about you
Even if you're gone to
Life's Edge, too early
Forever's a bond in our destiny

Walking hand in hand
Friends until the bitter end
My little prince
My lost prince

Sometimes at night I wonder
What our lives would be
If we were together

Clutching to hope I linger
Thinking it was your destiny
To be with me

I would have made a Prince of you
If only I could have seen you

You would have made a King of me
If only you could have met me…
