anchor

i drew you a line, it's all for you
to take the lead for the things you do
with bits and pieces of my memories
alone in your room with the silent breeze

you dropped me a line with the sharpest hook
the sight of you above was all it took
blue to red and from here to there
a simple memento with no room to spare

it's been a long time since i've felt so free
with the sun shining through and nothing left to see
i am the anchor keeping everything in place
going about my way with melancholy grace

your funeral

an especially beautiful day for
an exceptionally beautiful human being
but i feel like it wasn't your time yet
because i am not ready for this funeral

you could have been my best friend
i could have shed a few more tears
when you departed from us
when you went on your way
but you will spend my remaining years
as the humble and courageous
and mysterious figure i never really knew

you are a butterfly slowly floating away
the raindrop swept away with the flood
the tree lost in the green of the forest
the words we fumble with and can not say
you stood for everything
i wish i could be

having known you is
the pride i wear on my sleeve
from now until forevermore
from this breath until i breathe no more

get insentient

this nest of salt
is all my fault
i am so sorry
it's all my fault

poured into your cut
till it hurts no more
so nice and slow
you will hurt no more
