Born To December

I can't say I remember
Being born in december
But the world looks different
When you're birthed to the cold
As a child I rarely spoke
Often I heard
That my grandfather offered
A dollar per word

I like that you're thoughtful
Perceptive and clear
Your friendship comes slowly
And fiercely to pier
You're loyal, intuitive
Always true blue
Of my affections
These are but a few

I'm december I'm rare
I'm cold I'm flare
I'm different I swear
Just like everyone here

You're quiet, look inward
Compassion and plan
Always your nature
To help those you can
Covet our friendship
My glory was you
A child of december
I'm proud that I knew

I am born I am end
I am torn I am mend
I am cyclical, rend
I am sick in the end

I can't say I remember
Being born in december
But the world looks different
When you're birthed to the cold
My father was absent
My mother was indifferent
If they didn't love me
It taught me to hold

T'was the fourth of July
The fireworks on high
Lit our rooftop in Manhattan
And I could feel you on my right
You pulled me to a kiss
Right at the anthem's "rockets" part
And I swear at that moment
I could feel you in my heart

Hold tight, be strong
And soldier on
Cuz bebe you're my capricorn
Sometimes the world gets difficult
But you're not the type
To give up now
We're blessed, we're cursed
The best, the worst
But if you're the chorus
I'm the verse
And there's nothing out there stronger
When together we're a song

You've been out hurting yourself
I can see it in your eyes
You turn up after days
A cacophony of lies
Harm you do yourself
You do to me
And I can't control
I swear when you get high
It takes a little of my soul

Hold tight, be strong
Soldier on
As bebe you're my capricorn
Sometimes the world gets difficult
But you're not the type to give up now
I'm blessed, I'm cursed
The best, the worst
If you're a chorus
I'm the verse
But there's nothing out there stronger
When together we're a song

Please come home
Please come home and stop being alone
