i really love you
i don't know how to say it
so here goes:
if we went to the moon
we'd splash down over the mariana's trench
we'd sink straight to the bottom
and somehow float to the top
the thousands of miles
to that greyish white rock
but somehow the 7 miles down compares
if we were a castle
we wouldn't be a french one
the stone fortresses of ireland
are much more our style
northerners don't belong
on the southern grounds
so we continue on through the night
and dip our toes into the end of the world
the rio grande may twist through siberia
but somewhere in there is our oasis
and all the miles we travel are the love i have for you

chamber your punch
maybe i'm violent
but that's where all the power comes from
hesitate a moment
clear your eyes
see what you are capable of
nobody notices
a split second clarity
it's where you are yourself
so linger a moment
look at your hands
and see what they can do
listen to the moment stretch
like falling into a fractal
an eternity nobody sees
silence your mind
still your heart
and see the expanse in front of you
cut through the stillness
deafen the silence
and get for yourself what you deserve

how did you feel?
the day you heard.
did it come through the receiver?
words are weapons
how deep they pierce you
but this time the exit wound was cleaner
in the moment
your stomach, it twists
all of you feels engulfed by fire
on the wrong end
of that fateful last call
only wanting to joke that they're a liar
grasping at straws
thinking you're wrong?
you try to continue like nothing happened
the excuses and trajectories
they doom us all
masked by self deprecation and well wishes
give it a few days
it'll burn to the ground
and you'll have to turn to face the flame
from fire and wrecks
earth and the Pacific
turn back around and walk away
you're safe now
you can't be touched here
and after all that you're stronger than you think
