Winter Feels Endless

 Sit in a bed

I killed advice once again

Out on a raft and I wish u were here

I wish you a hearing, I wish you some ears

I can’t believe I’m leaving you alone

The darkness brews in the freezing cold

Take pointers from the lonely

A point so solemn it’s unfounded, with roots in ambition I lost as a kid

I fathom the escape but it’s bloody and I’m scared 

Weak and vulnerable 

Take today but save tomorrow 

I’m upside down on the porch in shorts 

Winter feels endless, you’ve been gone too long, and my ma left with you 

I’m a broken hibiscus 

Leaves so green like you’ve never seen

Veins run through, blood loss and a cub lost

it’s Wednesday already 

I’m dreading everything after I wake up 

A pendulum in my head, keeping time and leaving me for dead 

You talked about a hamster wheel and I knew we were alike

Kindred souls caught up in pain, it doesn’t subside it just remains 

I wish you well from 32 miles west 

I wish you well with my last breath

I’ll see your eyes again on a train or possibly in a pew

You said god is unknowable but I saw him there in you
