I'll go.
You’re sitting on my head
dangling your legs
and running on the roof
when I’m in my bed
Always here,
stopping my breath
moving my clouds
making life loud
and still,
when all is said
and the day dies slow
you’re back again -
So I’ll go,
where the fire is steep
the books unread
the tides loom black
and skeletons undead -
just to see your eyes
where the world lives
and your words drift
to my head
I’ll go,
I’ll go,
I’ll go,
you know.
And when I’m dying
I’ll go,
and when I’m living
I’ll go,
because we are living,
you know.
I’ll go,
when you won’t,
and believe
when you don’t,
so I can show
what you don’t know
so, you know.
I’ll go,
I’ll go,
I’ll go, now,
you know.
