So many explanations
words tumble and fall
well prepared
well taught
there’s this…
there’s that…
there’s courage…
There’s bravery…
So sad.And there’s this…
how are you…
there’s that…
what can we do…
and reply
and repeat
and keep you head down
in proper defeat.Even the ones
who’ve been through it before
the urge to comfort
to open some door
to connect through pain
and great tragedy
through sadness
and heartbreak
the mist of my sea.We all seek
like a beacon
to let us know we are here
and to come back to ourselves
through such primal fear
a beacon that bursts
through the pain
and the mist
something to go to
something rock solid
something that keeps
us safe in the knowledge.But the light is a farce
and so are the words
we try our best to get through it
as we’ve been taught
we try our best
to keep alive every thought
I think…
she’ll be back,
she’s always around
she’s just not here now
she’s just gone to town.Of course she’ll be back
I mean, why would she leave
she knows that we’re here
waiting to see
and turning our heads
at each little noise
is that her
is that…
hey girl, it’s your boys.But she’s not here anymore,
words tumble and fall.
She’s not here anymore…Edited 2/18/24
