yesterday
i found my-
self laughing
and crying
at the same
time, and
that’s when i
realized i’m
falling in
love, with
grief, god
help me i’m
so like an
ocean my
emotions
rolling like
waves, bil-
lowing it’s
true, and
i know that
you want some-
thing, i
know ‘cause i
want it too
there’s a tune
in my head
too obtuse
to make sense
so, i
sketch these words
scribbling
scrambling
frantically
who is the
king of this
world that de-
creed that we
do as we’re
told well i
know we should
but i can’t
help but put
swine before
pearls and i
see that we’re
all singing
the melo-
dy, that
haunts our sleep
please wake me
when we get
there i want
to know the
end but i
don’t want to
know the thought
of my own
end, no
more exist-
ence, why
is our
world so
dark turn
on the
light can’t
deal with the
grief
