Cenotaph

I was hoping you could give me

A medal for my bravery

The words are getting old

I am learning to build bridges

To address the distance

Feet without a home

And if I have to taste the blood under my tongue

I will swallow it for as long

As it takes to pass

And I it means I’ll find a morsel of redress

I will struggle with regret

As long as it will hold

What if we were both lost and I was never found

And you were

Tasked with breaking news and letting down?

What if we were both lost and I was never found

And you were

Tasked with breaking news and letting down?

I am missing you

Are so much worse, a cenotaph, a barfight in a church

A relief to remedy

But hey it’s never as bad as it seems

The ocean will abate eventually

They cast their nets out graciously

Come here

(laughs)

And if I had to make an educated guess

No one got a decent rest

And no one’s going home tonight

And If I weren’t so preoccupied with this

I’d seek the safety of my nest but

I

Want

To

Find

You

Whole

Or

Parts

Hahahahaha

What if we were both lost and I was never found

And you were

Tasked with breaking news and letting down?

What if we were both lost and I was never found

And you were

Tasked with breaking news and letting down?
