Passing |
| To you, my love |
| I leave the second best beds |
| The worlds dragged up dregs and drowned regrets |
| Lakes that have bled their dappled beauty are long dead and dread |
| So that every time you place a foot |
| The thought that the ground could come loose |
| Parades through your head |
| I’ll leave your lungs and loves unfed |
| Your green spaces stained red |
| I’ll leave |
| Taking with me all I’ve found and instead |
| You can have whatever’s left |
| To you I hand down a horizon |
| Marked by my mistakes |
| Fires, fakes |
| Days comprising a season-less haze |
| And a lifetime’s fight for intangible change |
| A place void of brightness |
| Not the world I knew |
| But a charcoal likeness |
| And a tightness in your frail chest |
| So that, at best? |
| You’ll get to see your twenties through |
| And I would give you |
| The sky if I could |
| But it’s too scored and scorched from long haul holidays |
| So for my youngest i leave an apology |
| That you will never let the citrus lick of dew stain your fingers |
| Nor the smell that lingers after the rain |
| Frame your autumn days |
| I’m sorry |
| For the still nights |
| When you won’t be looking up at stars |
| Charting those stories that should have been ours; |
| The powerless pyre in the pit of your being |
| For bequeathing that feeling |
| I can only apologise |
| Cos i chose to turn the other cheek |
| Turn my back |
| Keep my eyes firmly closed… |
| As if I didn’t know |
| That this world is not a temporary home |
| It’s not on loan |
| It’s not due back as soon as I am gone |
| We might just be passing through |
| What are we passing on? |
