It’s getting hard,
For real now.
You know that- What? Right?
She wants to paint you,
Her decalcomania,
Colors bleeding like tears.
You know that- Why? Right?
A flood’s coming soon,
Dark water rising,
Choking her whispered fears.
You know that- Where? Right?
Save her, please,
Before she sinks,
Drowning in dreams left unspoken
You know that- How? Right?
With hands trembling,
Reach for her heart,
Her soul deserves to be heard.
Will you hold her, please?
Remind her, she’s not alone.
