Give me a moment of silence.
Let me let this set in on me,
where times of sorrow you'll let me feel like myself again.
Reach out for me when the tide is too low,
for my boat is too far to touch your sands.
The tide was high so what I had decided
I pushed myself  further away today,
While you were still sleeping as the sun crept below the bay.
A note for me, it said,
"Be careful today for the winds are strong and cold.
They'll sweep you away with one wind blow,
and throw your life to a current too strong of a foe,
But be sure to know this bird still sings all your heart's desires.
Listen despite the deepness of that dark abyss.
Listen for the song that forever plays,
that strums and strums until you make your way back to me".
And I sighed, the note placed in my plaid shirt pocket.
The front door quietly pulled tight, the locks I locked it.
