Steady little Indian
Your ear close to the ground
You can hear them coming closer
The echoing, heavy sound
Steady little Soldier
your boots filled with blood
Your gun on your shoulder
and your face covered in mud
It’s okay little brother
Your crying has subsided
& The day is almost over
Sun to Moon
Moon to Sun
What was said
cannot be undone.

I'll hold you up and lift you
Like the wind blows the willow tree
My tears will fall and cover you
Like the rain washing the earth
I'll carry your burden on my shoulders
& wither under the pressure
Too tired to walk, too shameful to fall
Bury me, bury me
Like the dearly departed

I can see the joy leave your eyes
As reality set in and you knew
-you knew what today is
You knew what tomorrow will bring
You saw into the future
& it was bleak
You stared blankly ahead
& said
-this is not where I want to be

The air is on 60º
& you're freezing me out
A pool of tears collect on my pillow
And I wipe them away
-like it would get rid
Of this draft on my face
Tears frozen in place

I lit a fire
In the middle of the forest
& watched the trees burn to the ground
I walked a lot, pondered in thought
Of the things I saw around
My heart's an open wound
Too fresh to close and heal
The rage came out
And opened its mouth
And fire came out to ****

When I think about it
My throat swells up
And I can feel my stomach lurch into my chest
My body's caving in
And tears fall slowly from my face
Wiping them away
I remember
This is not how you're supppsed to feel

I found myself, lying hoplessly on the couch
Waiting for you to come back in
Don't you see
If you leave
Who will be my only friend?

I remember you when I was bright-eyed
The best friend with her smile so big
We did crazy things together
Got lost and caught up in it all
But then we got older
And grew farther
--distance in time, distance in hearts
Now I watch you grow from stories I'm told
And to you, I'm like a ghost

What am I thinking right now
--its 500 in the morning
And I'm smoking ****
Waiting, Waiting
Ive been waiting all day
Chain smoking, touching myself
--wishing it was you
But it's tomorrow already
And you're still gone

Escaping out of my mouth
Like smoke travelling out
Filling the space around me
Stop spinning and lie motionless
Hoping the ground doesn't throw you up
And gravity won't **** you down
