And then someone
Threw me overboard
And unable to
Swim I was
Sinking when suddenly
Two splashes above
Me happened suddenly
First a buoy
And then you
Pulling me from
Deaths grip you
Brought me air
And carried me
To the safety
This you did
Only for me
And then someone
Threw me overboard
And unable to
Swim I was
Sinking when suddenly
Two splashes above
Me happened suddenly
First a buoy
And then you
Pulling me from
Deaths grip you
Brought me air
And carried me
To the safety
This you did
Only for me
And so I
Grafted myself to
You and you
Small broken flower
Less and somewhere
In between I
Knew that you
Would never grow
Without me music
And so I
Kissed someone else
And I knew
Right then that
My lips missed
Yours it wasn’t
The same we
Butted and didn’t
Bled we were
Coarse and rough
Like two rocks
Rubbing against each
Other rather than
Waves that quietly
An easily washed
Upon the shore
You haunt me
Like my favorite
Character of the
Novel I just
Finished that never
Got to marry
His own princess
Like the patient
Dog under the
Table waiting for
The bone to
Be offered and
Watching it thrown
To the wolves
Maybe they both
Think there’s always
The next time
The best chili
Is the chili
Prepared one day
And ate the
Next there’s something
About waiting that
Doubles its flavor
It steeps thickens
And deepens color
Parts just disappear
Until they land
Yet once again
And that mmmmm
That’s you too
My old friends
