I see you sinking in the gloom Water eyes see you fade into deep blue The gray ocean of my mind I see you grow smaller & fade But everytime pull you out again. I think on your words, "Whats the point?" You bob & sway here and fro. You once told me, In everything, there’s an ebb & flow. Fade to black. Come back come back But I think on your words. "Whats the point?" There can be no touch. Our signals crossed signals lost You dip under murky waters. I hesitate to reach. The Silence was always loudest with you. A cutting cold. My shriveled heart. I believe your words. So whats the point? We ignore the elephant in the room. You dip again. Too soon too soon Im so close to reaching you Restrain restrain I think on your words again: "Whats the point?" Connection. The deep dark hole beginning to fill to feel. The torn raw rough edges beginning to heal. But I think on your words-"Whats the point?" And I have no answer or promises to give. I can only watch you drown Why do I keep pulling you out. I cannot save you. I have so little love to give Even for me. . You see? You see. And you sink completely & disappear from view You sink I swim. Away , but back to & fro You once told me in everything there is ebb & flow Its like that special hell of wielding the boulder. Why couldn't he just let go? Our elephant ignored, our love left alone Gathering dust turning to bone.

Dust & Bone
I see you sinking in the gloom Water eyes see you fade into deep blue The gray ocean of my mind I see you grow smaller & fade But everytime pull you out again. I think on your words, "Whats the point?" You bob & sway here and fro. You once told me, In everything, there’s an ebb & flow. Fade to black. Come back come back But I think on your words. "Whats the point?" There can be no touch. Our signals crossed signals lost You dip under murky waters. I hesitate to reach. The Silence was always loudest with you. A cutting cold. My shriveled heart. I believe your words. So whats the point? We ignore the elephant in the room. You dip again. Too soon too soon Im so close to reaching you Restrain restrain I think on your words again: "Whats the point?" Connection. The deep dark hole beginning to fill to feel. The torn raw rough edges beginning to heal. But I think on your words-"Whats the point?" And I have no answer or promises to give. I can only watch you drown Why do I keep pulling you out. I cannot save you. I have so little love to give Even for me. . You see? You see. And you sink completely & disappear from view You sink I swim. Away , but back to & fro You once told me in everything there is ebb & flow Its like that special hell of wielding the boulder. Why couldn't he just let go? Our elephant ignored, our love left alone Gathering dust turning to bone.
