I ran to the edge of Heaven today Leaped from my bed and almost fell down a cliff In a balled fist I had a list Your name was at the top of it "Unfinished Business" God says I have to keep living until you agree to die together Isn't that why Marriage says Until Death do Us Part? Yet you keep parting ways with me in the living & No kidding besides my Fathers Death You are the only memory that chokes me up Like walking into a funeral late Everyone there has already grieved So you swallow, hard and quietly The tears don't roll down your face They bravely brace the fire escapes we call cheekbones They know That burning passion will create smoke in your eyes Smoke in the eyes always creates water Water helps things grow & your heart has been dry for far too long
So today I took the last Birthday Card I ever sent you Folded the sides of it down Turned the corners of it upward
Got a running start from Earth Launched it to the ******* the cliff in Heaven She keeps reaching for me Speaking to me I need her to see
The Earth bound boy that makes Heaven worth the wait
The clouds in his hair The wind in his laugh Cools me in summer Challenges me in winter & scares me during my storms
He is all I've ever been I know him I owe him; a glimpse in the mirror A ring around a rosie A 1, 2 , 3 not it A Happily EVer After A you can do it Baby AN I forgive you Please forgive me For laughing my real laugh I know the snorting tickles you I know you hate to be tickled
The plane never quite makes it to the cliff Although intrigued by my love She never quite gets the jist of it & this stupid list of Unfinished Business Keeps auto correcting in your name...
