Half N’ half

Vincent’s view

v

Keaton was delivered strugglin’ to stay warm

and he grew about as cold as the day he was born,

He had a bit of warmth, but only his parents saw-

well it wasn’t very long until the family knew

when Keaton came around, then so did the blues-

They were hoping someday he’d find himself a fire-

 

The preachers wouldn’t help him

thought that nobody could

till a smile came ‘round and started burnin’ some wood,

He felt a kinda fire he thought he’d never have-

C

Well Keaton believed he had found the one

from him she brought out hidden fun

cuz that fire started to feel a bit like home-

but he’s a country boy, and she’s city queen,

And they couldn’t settle in between-

so they ended off to avoid the half N’ half-

 

V
He may have left the one who started the spark,

But the fire never left from inside of his heart

And he found something he knew he couldn’t lose-

cuz he found his family, his home, and his dream

and a grace that showed he’d never leave-

the good LORD worked on his troubled soul-

 

C

So maybe someday he’ll meet the one

finally have himself a son

and pass on down the good grace of GOD-

But for now that’s all he ever needs

that warmth that brought him to his knees

and a vow to never leave it half N’ half-

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is a sort of re-written song from a different angle. The song is “half N half” by The Figs. I highly recommend listening to the song before reading, as it gives a better understanding of the pacing and choice of words. It’s got fewer verses and the two chorus’ are different, so I marked the start of the verses with “V” and chorus’ with “C” as a bit of a guide. It’s low quality and thrown together, but that’s how I like to do things with poems. Just gotta wing it with the feels as your guide.
