Never,
could I Ever,
repay the way
you once
lay
your skin,
nestled and
buried
within,
my limbs.
Never,
could I Ever,
replace your scent,
it lingers.
and I dreamt,
of the days
when the grass was blue,
and the sky was green,
and everything we ever held,
was everything inbetween
Never,
could I Ever,
turn you around-
you say you're
Inside Out,
I say I'm
Upside Down,
but you're choking me dear
when you cut me out
you've left me behind
up and left
with that same old
one
track
mind,
it may
sound funny
but from time to time
I close my eyes,
and yes-
it's you,
that I find
draining me
of
every
piece
of
courage
you planted in my seed
and make sturdy the branches,
of our growing
timeless tree.
and I know it's for the better,
dear
really you haven't got a thing to worry about,
here
but
Never,
could I Ever,
love like
the notes that your voice would flow,
or
the handwriting with me that you wrote,
or
the skin with
which
you know,
me.
Never.
could I Ever?
