Exhale If Only

We live together and hardly talk and
It’s mostly my fault cause I
Push you away like it’s
Only today and there’s
Always tomorrow to fix any sorrow.
Exhale, if only.

And we’ve an ocean of differences,
We could sail it all day, but we’ve
Already plenty of trouble in
All of the tenses and not enough
Time to climb today’s fences.
Exhale, if only.

And I’ll stand at your coffin and
No tears will fall cause I’ll
Know this was softened cause
I’d told you this all and how much
I love you before death was installed.
Exhale, if only.

It's, you know, A strange feeling We've waited for this For so long Everything affected by This terrible paradox Of pulling and pushing Of mending the middle And tearing at edges.

Half

Half awake, Half asleep; Half of my pillow, Soaked with tears. Half smiling, Half whining; Half of my wishes, Torn into pieces.

I wish you were here. Like you wouldn't believe. My heads in my hands. I'm starting to grieve. Why did you go. And leave me this way. I wish it was me. Then you could stay. I'm lost and alone.
