One Hundred Dragonflies

Woke up to one hundred dragonflies circling our heads
The day after you left us so alone
Now all that I can see are bright lights in spaces where you were
You were always singing
You were always there

Woke up alone today
Again in the dark
And the storm outside couldn't hide my brother's cries
Violent moans like those of our father when dope left his system
We need you more than you know
We need you more than ever

History left your mark on my face with this nose and hair
That still grows wild as grape vines
Kissing my cheeks
I know you're here

So I'll hold my breath till I see shapes or see your face again
Whichever comes first
If that doesn't work, I'll summon heaven
To pour down onto us all
And leave us drenched wet in your scent

You are always listening
You are always here
