We are polar opposites.

I cannot be who you want me to be.
I cannot give you what you want.

I don't even know who I am.

You keep pushing,

And at some point I am going to fall off the cliff.

I will end up taking you down with me.

I am a ticking time bomb.

*I will ruin you.

Kathleen, my little girl,
Just texted me.
She's in labor.
D-Day.
What a trooper.
Soft landing
To my first grandchild.

I would hold back
the sea with my
bare hands

If you asked

If you were a mermaid                                   c. 6.8.14 J.Ray                         
I’d follow you down
I wouldn’t be afraid
If I had to drown

Into the dark sea
We swim all alone
Though we cannot see
Into the depths unknown

Through the waves
And through the sand
To Pirate’s graves
Let me hold your hand

Sharks around us got big teeth
Hold you close and calm the fear
The dangers in the underneath
But the water is just oh so clear

Your hair catches the suns final ray
I hate to go now but I’ll be with you soon
In my true heart I wish I could stay
I kiss you goodbye with light of the moon

oh darling,
don't be afraid,
one day you'll be happy again.
one day all your dreams will come true
