Bubble

Push your bubble outwards
watch the handprints that you leave
they mean nothing to you
but everything to me

Push your bubble outwards
and watch your body and your mind
come and walk full circle
like the paths you weave

pop your bubble now
just tear it all to shreds
watch yourself collapse
as you try and tie the threads

pick up the pieces
though they’re lost on the wind
pick up the pieces
like your lover never did

Use what you did
to push forward ever harder
broken signs and troubles
lost forever in the bubbles
that people make and keep
and bury themselves
down into the dirt
six feet deep
