it is funny how some people
do not realize they are broken
until it is far too late
for them to be fixed
(so, humpty dumpty,
can you mend yourself back together?)

i also find humor in the fact
that sometimes we don't even have time
to say a simple goodbye to those we love
so you should make the time now
drop whatever you are doing
and tell someone how much you care

because i watched her drown
her fingers slipped from my grasp
as the water dragged her under
eveloping her in its embrace
taking her further into its cold darkness
and when i jumped in to save her
she was not there anymore
just a shell with
glassy eyes
blue lips
pale skin
and not  a single goodbye

(did you say it yet?)
Give me something bluesy
Something soulful
Like a cold night where your breath fogs the air
Or a light summer rain that makes you ache to jump in a puddle

Give me awe
Something inspiring
Like a painting with a small smear
Or the little bit of pink in every sunset

Give me something eveloping
Something consuming
Like the thick tendrils of cigar smoke in a crowded bar
Or that first sip of coffee, warm and soothing on your tongue

Give me something
