17.

You’re more than I hoped

Would ever be mine to hold

Baby please come home

16.

Tiptoeing down halls

Just trying not to wake you

As I run away

15.

Goodbye seems so small

When traded by anyone

Except you and I

14.

Blending and bleeding

Trying to understand all

The ways you killed us

13.

I can’t seem to fight

With this ever-present dark

Help me find a way

12.

The woods enveloped
And swallowed you whole I was
Left calling your name

The Cardiologist's Sea

We sailed our love out, into the ocean

Of life and we fought through the waves

We fought against the thought, against the notion

That we would dig each other’s graves

So when you fell overboard and called for me

To save you from the fate that loomed

I found I could not reach you through the sea

Of water between us, I found we were doomed

The roiling, boiling waves of this world

Took you from me, and I couldn’t save you

I’m sorry, I wanted to - but my sails unfurled

And I was blown far away too

Stay strong, find your way

I hope we meet again someday

I never intended for us to end this way

I hope someday we can both say

That though the waters dark and gray

Pulled us each away

We found a life we needed and wanted

And the love that we shared never left us haunted
