No Matter What

No matter where I go
Your names are etched into my heart; aglow
The perfect life you wanted for me is a bow
Tossed and lost into the sea of snow
I’m done with this puppet show
Go weeping to Van gogh
My masterpiece oozes woe
But oh how I love it so

And when life starts to slow
Please don’t forget I’ll grow
Someday, some time, my seams will sew
When the winds ceases to blow
When the rivers halt to flow
Please just know
I love you so

You’ll look back and see the pain I had to undergo
And kiss me up and down, head to toe.
Scraped knees and climbing trees was forever ago,
And all that adrenaline promises to lie low
I’d throw in the towel, skip the free throw
But I’ll run on for you although
You wouldn’t hear the symphony of a brokenhearted cello.

Where I’ll end up, I dunno.
I guess we’ll leave that to Henry David Thoreau.
Please, please just know.
I’ll always love you so.
