Together
Drew Kowalkowski Mar 2016
Can you imagine where I’d be
If I didn’t stop for coffee
How simple a thing it was
That changed “me” to “us”

Shut In
Drew Kowalkowski Mar 2016
You’ve told me
The nights seem darker
And the days are shorter
You’ve been sleeping more
And eating less
For the last week
You’ve worn the same
Stained dress
The curtains are sewn shut
The door’s been locked for so long
I think it’s a wall
I wonder
If you’re even in your room at all

Dear Sister
Drew Kowalkowski Mar 2016
If I could,
I'd steal a star.
I'd wrap it up in the night sky
So that you'd never forget
That you're not alone.

If I could,
I'd tame the power of the sun
To create light in your world that's gone dark.
So that you could find your way out
And find happiness in a new place.

If I could,
I'd put a cloud in a bowl.
It'll be a safe place for you to hide your secrets.
And when it rains,
The clouds will take your sadness away.

If I had the power,
I'd change your world
Because the one you live in scares you.
Take my world
Make it yours.

The World, My Gift to You
Drew Kowalkowski Feb 2016
If I could, I'd steal a star
I'd pick it from the night sky.
The very first one that caught my eye
and I'd bring it to you in a jar so that you could hold a marvel.

If I could, I'd tame the power of the sun
So that you would never be afraid of the dark.
So that you could feel the lights march
and be guarded while I'm gone.

If I could, I'd put a cloud in a bowl
So you always have somewhere to hide your secrets.
And when you want to cry, the cloud will rain
and take your sadness away.
