Randy
tell me about it all, my love
although you see me a corpse
your voice is one I can hear
all my words clogged in
I scratch the surface open
let them out
will you tell them to let me out?
don't mind my eyes closing, my dear
keep telling me how my day went
I will feel the way you felt
my blood seems to run out
before I confirm it's real
any sound I make is too loud
so I don't speak at all
curling up in a ball
taking up the least space I can
and I wait
tell me love, what is it like outside?
do birds still dance freely?
there's that familiar look in your eyes
I watched them all die
I know how it feels
but darling this is no goodbye
I'll watch you grieve and heal
while you watch us lose the mind I had
