I don’t know what we were
But I know I don’t wanna fight with her
But I feel her get my back up 
When I offer her love
And she slaps my hand 
Like the hourglass isn’t pouring sand
And all of us into the ocean 
Why are you afraid to show emotion
Is it just me 
Or is it the dragon that was set free 
Two decades ago 
And somewhere amidst the snow 
The annals of us are preserved 
I try to keep my cool but I am unnerved 
By the sheer lack of the sea 
In the meadows that lap against me 
And I can’t make it better and I can’t mend 
What she never broke but doesn’t intend
To rectify 
There is a part of us that can never die
And a part that does day by day
I wonder why she is that way
And the reason seems clear
But she doesn’t know how I hold her dear
And is it my lot to be unknown 
And only have my true colours shown 
When a stranger just walks into my days
And tells me I’m free in so many ways
And he thinks I hate him, I can hear him sigh 
But the mists move the mountains and I cry 
Out with the fear of it
But he’s alcohol and I take a sip 
And find myself head of heels 
Like I’m lost on instagram reels 
Just trying to find my source
I am not a child of divorce
But I know the fracture when the world splits 
Or the chasm that opens when death hits
You hard in the gut 
And someone you love things you’re in a rut
But I would never leave the flowerbed
Above the grave that marks your head 
So I’ll just let you know 
That I was not born to let go
