I wonder if the waves took you away If the sparkling surface knew what to say I wonder if you felt safer there If in the palms of a god your limbs tangled beyond repair I wonder if the roar of the waves If the wind tearing past your silhouette sang a devastating praise I wonder if you slept for hours If it took minutes or days for you to wilt fragile as a dead flower I wonder if every road leads to you at the edge of a cliff If no laugh and no kiss you could see as a gift I wonder if the ocean will always be blue If the red wine you spilt will stain it a bruised purple hue I wonder if a piece of you still exists If I really see your face your fingers wrapped around my wrists I wonder if the days are still passing If I live in my mind your memory haunting and harassing I wonder if we scattered in the wind If we are shattered pieces undone with cracked bones and skinned I wonder if my life can be worthy when you were stolen away Why can my life not end early? Let my mind slumber and my body decay

the waves took you away
I wonder if the waves took you away If the sparkling surface knew what to say I wonder if you felt safer there If in the palms of a god your limbs tangled beyond repair I wonder if the roar of the waves If the wind tearing past your silhouette sang a devastating praise I wonder if you slept for hours If it took minutes or days for you to wilt fragile as a dead flower I wonder if every road leads to you at the edge of a cliff If no laugh and no kiss you could see as a gift I wonder if the ocean will always be blue If the red wine you spilt will stain it a bruised purple hue I wonder if a piece of you still exists If I really see your face your fingers wrapped around my wrists I wonder if the days are still passing If I live in my mind your memory haunting and harassing I wonder if we scattered in the wind If we are shattered pieces undone with cracked bones and skinned I wonder if my life can be worthy when you were stolen away Why can my life not end early? Let my mind slumber and my body decay
