Me and Gaby

Blue, Blue

Blue, blue
Waves you cry
Tears of ocean
Salt and sky

Something taken
Now, it’s gone
Toes dug down
You can’t move on

In winds of reasons-
-clouds you hide
Horizon answers
Far and wide

No one hears you
What you speak
No one seeks you
As you seek

Pick a shell
Palm it tight
Doesn’t matter
No one’s right

But take it home
And place it where
It cannot lose
It’s ocean stare

It is grounding-
You will see
Beginning back when
You see me

Here in hiding
Waters rise
Here in waiting
Waters’ eyes

Too long ago
Too far beneath
Now death has taken
Over sleep

You cannot wake him
Or be awoke
The baby bones
He broke are broke.

Arms that dangle
Bent astray
He is why
Love goes away

Ever with you
Beneath your skin
Becoming all of
You within

Black and filthy
Shadow glaze
Words that save you
Come from haze

And all the eyes
Have seen your gait
Your limp and stagger
His dead weight

They all saw
but would not touch
The dark way
You became too much

They stay away
This fear is true
It's only mostly
Tainting you

They won’t touch
And shouldn’t dare
The leaking traces
Everywhere

One Little child
One little girl
One sleepy baby
Against the world

Blue, blue
Waves you cry
Tears of ocean
Salt and sky

Look at me now,
Who am I?
