Dissociation saves, in my soul,
A shard of grief
For the next friend of mine
That leaves.
Hiding away into fantasy,
Pretending when I let mind
Slip from the hinges
Into the foresight.
An Atlas hold on my sky
Before the fall,
Knowing bracing
Won’t save bone from
Shards and splinters.
Fearful of loneliness
And forgottenness,
Shaking at honesty
Taking my fingertips
To write the truth.
Fantasy embraces me gladly,
As the thought of you two leaving,
Takes sanity and peels it
Like a scab.
Please don’t forget about me, my friends.

Dissociation saves, in my soul,
A shard of grief
For the next friend of mine
That leaves.
Hiding away into fantasy,
Pretending when I let mind
Slip from the hinges
Into the foresight.
An Atlas hold on my sky
Before the fall,
Knowing bracing
Won’t save bone from
Shards and splinters.
Fearful of loneliness
And forgottenness,
Shaking at honesty
Taking my fingertips
To write the truth.
Fantasy embraces me gladly,
As the thought of you two leaving,
Takes sanity and peels it
Like a scab.
Please don’t forget about me, my friends.
