A Familiar Shape

I saw her from a distance
She cut a familiar shape
And I know she just wants to escape
But the prison is more than these four walls
And the laughter is caged in the halls
And I wish I could talk to Stephen again
He really was the best of men
And there was something he said that rings true
That there are some people who die even if you
Really want to help
It’s like when you hear the dog let out a yelp
When it’s been kicked
Then you hear someone call her a bitch
And it just reminds me of your name
And how people say; “it’s such a shame”
And how they didn’t when she was alive
They just said “she’s troubled” and the subside
Caught her on the wrong side of the shore
But I throw her an oar
From over here
And though she may be gone, my dear
She is also still in the same place
I just remember the beauty of her face
And the staunch of her soul
Even the greatest waves must roll
And know you’re not alone
Nor are you far from home
When you are in your own heart
There’s something the demons can’t tear apart
