For Me
your eyes were stronger
than the earth viewed from afar
I still want them
for my own

The light years
you ran alongside my fears
Through a telescope
you knew I was afloat
so low in your vision's tide
But in who else could I confide

For You
my legs were longer
than a giraffe's
It made you laugh
You still picture me
I hope

I see many lives will retreat
after refusing to speak
or not knowing how to
not knowing when
to say they love you
Just count them dead.
