Seeds

Dear God, if I close my eyes

And sleep tonight, will you show me the light?

Dear Mom, I slept in your bed

And he wept when he read that I was gone

My brother came into my room

When I came to and I thought he was you

But the bark around my heart won't peel off

As my body slowly rots

I'm sorry, but I want to be alone

I love you, but all of my seeds are sown

Your eyes widened in my dreams

And your smile was complete, but I am empty

I was lost in my hollowness

When she told me that I'd never be happy

I remember when she laid in the dark with me

And we gave all of the ghosts we could see a name

But the bark around my heart won't peel off

As my body slowly rots

I'm sorry, but I want to be alone

I love you, but all of my seeds are sown
