Don't Go

get angry
get scared
there’s no getting ready
no way to be prepared

time goes on
the sunset, then the dawn
the moon don’t care about your liver

but i do
i do
your bones, your guts, your sinews,
heart, blood , muscles too

i do
i do
wondering, and worrying 
who’s taking care of you?

oh why,
why?
sometimes it feels stupid 
just to try

control
what a farce
to organize our calendars
distract us from the dark

i do
i do
looking at the photographs
that i once took of you

i do
i do
and in my mind, you’re soft and kind
the ocean, sky is blue

i’ve been speaking
to the dirt
been stomping ‘round in boots to make it 
feel how much it’s hurt us 

swallowing our sons 
and daughters
no time, no rhyme or reason
feels like slaughter

oh i know,
i know
i’ve gone and simplified it all
gone and let my sadness show

but i’m angry
and i’m scared
i was not ready
i was not prepared 

Don't Go
