Something that I sketched in the last hour:
I had to go
Someone tell the universe my heart is dead.
Perhaps she'll launch a fire ball into space.
Couldn't keep the pace.
Someone say a prayer to guide her home tonight.
The moon will not suffice to light her way.
I tried so hard to stay
I had to go.
Someone pour a whiskey in this shattered glass
before I drink to leave this mess behind.
This world is so unkind.
Someone send a ticket to my wretched soul;
Destination, 'any place but here.'
We cried a well of tears.
I had to go.
You're waking up to salted waves of pain.
No ordinary mermaid , a waterfall will cascade from your eyes.
I hope you find a way to love again.
Love again, love again.
I had to go.
