I wanted you to win
in a future bright with hope
each moment better than the last
with time never running out
but the rain is pounding down
and the field is barren
unable to be rewritten
the test results to be negative
stop the blood from being spilt
tear the pink slip in two
open the barricaded doors
hold love in my empty arms
our world is reeling
a topsy-turvy tragic unity
heir to a thousand choices
reverberating like a gong
in the face of senseless consequence
I thought you were something
but the days slip away
like sand through my fingers
I turn my collar to the wind
unsure if the drops are salty
when all I feel is loss
find a way to say amen
