i attempted to cry for you
because i was always taught
that if you add water
to a dead flower
it could come back to life

after climbing onto the rocks
and to the top of the cliff
he feared now not
feeling the comfort
of the whirlpool
because while standing
above the sea
he found new meaning in life
now that he realized
he is free

packing for a change
to float off
into a different place

luggage tags & duffle bags
i’ll see you soon

flying off into the sky
to live with you in the clouds
my goodbyes have been final
and my bags have been checked

see you soon
so we can fly together
into the moon

i think you and i
would grow much better together
on mars

we have already taken up
too much of each other’s
oxygen anyways

i stayed until midnight
standing at the bus stop
waiting to go to the airport
to the board the plane
to the moon

because i heard
it doesn’t shine as bright

now that it has you

i’m sorry this world
did not welcome you
with open arms

send me a letter
when you get back home

so i know that
you’re safe
