Biophelia

I remember when you said you were scared to have children
Scared to show them this world
I said then we'll take in 20
Kiss them when their hands shake
Kiss them when things get cold
There on Lake Michigan
You told me that you'd love me
Even when I was old
That Christmas when your dad came home
I'm trembling in the bathroom
Praying for your heart of gold
Come back to me
Please stay with me
Please come back my little lamb
I miss holding your hands!
I cannot, cannot explain
My dreams of dogs with two faces
And our names!
Oh and everything, everything has to change
I just keep wishing that
Wishing that it was the same!
On Sunday's sitting by your mom
We're laughing in the aisles
Laughing in the hands of God
She told me this has got to stop
I'm crying on her shoulder
Crying for the things you'd lost
That night you'd almost given up
I'm talking with your sister
Talking 'bout the way you shine!
Rachel where did we go wrong?
I wish we would have waited
I wish we would have took our time!
What was is dead and gone
And no two cells are alike
Our hearts are growing strong
Like a cedar like a wife
And no ghost will find us here
In the places we have been
With the takers and the weeds will be learning!
There are no clever words
There is no poetry
It's how I feel
It's like a stomach wound
It's like your dying words
It's like an Indian Summer
It keeps hanging on
