fawn

I sat alone, watched you drink from the pond

I couldn't help it, my eyes tend to look

The air was too cold, you were drinking alone

I would come over if my legs could work

How would I know if you liked it alone?

You wouldn't tell me if I got too close

So I'll sit alone as you drink from the pond

I wish that I could sit by the water with you

Dust starts to grow through my skin and my bones

I would come over if I found the courage

I'd drink from the palm of the woods as they hold

Onto the limbs that I once called my own

Lift me up slowly to put me below

Under the treetops, the branches unfold

I sat alone, watched you drink from the pond

I wish that I could sit by the water with you
