My love for you was like an ocean
I only wish that you told me you couldn't swim
I never meant for you to drown in my love

Why'd I walk into this room again?

It's not who you are or who you know,

What you wear or where you go.

It's not your friends or family,

Its words on a page,

In this community.

The words we use can settle scores

or open doors.

So hear a heartfelt plea from me,

Let's stop the wars and do poetry.

The end of life,
is only,
when you are
*DEAD
