Mother!
.            I fumble to write this letter
.                            to you!
mother!
.           ink has frozen within me,
.                            so snow!
mother!
.           the room you left empty for infinite
.                             ****** life!
mother!
.           none is equal to you, O mother,
.                             others fake!
mother!
.           my morsels have turned bland,
.                             water thick!
mother!
.           life is spring at home here and you
.                               its blossoms!
mother!
.           I salute you for your unsurpassed care,
.                                sea-love!
Mother!
.           I will meet you in heaven, O mother,
.                                 my promise!
.

i         had         a
dream last night
that     you     fell
in      love     with
someone        else
and     i    realized
that  i  don't want
to      spend     the
rest        of       my
life    scared   that
i  might  lose  you

i         want        to
spend    that  time
waking             up
next      to       you,
seeing               the
world    with   you,
learning    how   to
grow   old  bravely
with                 you

and       i      guess  
what    i'm  trying
to         say         is

marry              me

I write for people who's dear for me
and for people I'm dear to.

And I haven't
              written
                    anything
                       for
                           a
                               long
                                     time

Time will sweep the seas aside
And dry the wistlful shore,
But I'll stay here for you my dear,
And count the graves of war.
