Stasis

Dear mom & dad
I’m sorry for the good times we never had
It might have been easier if it all was better
It might have been better if it all were easier
Carry me (bury me)
Life is dragging me down
Don’t let me become a memory
I need you now
You
I know you can hear me, living on the far side of the earth
You once told me that death is a forever sleep but I won’t lay my head down
until we finally meet again
And you
We turned love into loss into love into loss only to find each other again.
I put a piece of my heart under a glass bell for you to keep
I’m running out of air, could you please help me breathe?
HOW COULD I EVER GET SO LOST INSIDE MYSELF
MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED WHEN YOU OFFERED TO HELP THERE’S A ROPE IN THE
BASEMENT AND IT’S SINGING MY NAME THERE’S A HOLE IN MY HEAD AND I’M SINKING
AGAIN
TO BOTH OF YOU, MY TWO RIGHT HANDS:
I KNOW IT’S NOT EASY TO BE MY FRIEND
BUT ONE DAY BITTER MIGHT TASTE BETTER
