Blood and Water

Was once it would be easier Not so mocking cold and grey But, I’ve started on your eulogy Googled what I need to say. I suppose I’m super organised Your doctors say the time is near Yet here and now, I’m quite removed Perhaps indifference is my sphere. I’ll have to introduce myself. Ironic; As I’m your only kin. Except that gap of twenty years Blood and Water. Neither rarely quite this thin. I’ll need to map the family Complex and simple to explain Your blood. Non-blood. Who’ll miss you more? Not sure that question still remains. I’ll speak of fondest memories Swerving past polarizing parts Guarding mana for those that care Never my place, to break their hearts. And when the montage skims your life Strangely my face will not be there Love and laughter from twenty years Can’t show, I know, you didn’t care. So I’ve started on your eulogy Perhaps to prove to me I’m brave. Ignore the weakness of your time So, family, can mourn your grave.
