SHE BEGAN CRYING
EXPRESSING HER GOODBYE
WITH HER TEARS


EACH TEAR
DIVIDING MY HEART
SMASHING IT
BREAKING IT


BUT I WOULD NOT BREAK
THE BARRIER WAS THERE
VIVID AND UNDEFINABLE


HER WORDS LIKE A CLOUD
THE WIND AS MY SHIELD
MEMORIES FLOATING
AROUND ME

AND LIKE A DROWNING
DESPERATE SURVIVOR
FROM THIS SINKING SHIP
I HELD ON TO THEM

LETTING THEM CARRY AWAY
TO BETTER TIMES
AND HAPPIER PLACES
A PLACE WHERE IT IS NOT AS CRUEL
TO LOOSE
YOUR PRECIOUS JEWEL
