Once you were there
Two minutes after
With coffee and rain
I will remember
The way that we were
The world has felt whole.
Once we were there
It was a Thursday
With tea and a smile
I will always remember
It made me forget
That the world has got holes.
I want this to be
The one thing
To hold on to
To fill up the holes
We tend to fall in to.
I want this to burn!
Sending a spark
Through the night
To shimmer in silence
Soothing our skin
As one moment feels right.
And once it’s all over,
I’ll have our ashes to keep,
To build a fence
Around those holes too deep.
