Sad Songs

sing me sad songs my love, let the fears drip away
dip your fingers and flick the droplets til I laugh
pretend everything is
us and we are all there is so what hearbreak can come?
I will write you poems dear and you will tear your hair
I know that you struggle and so I try
not to speak
but sometimes I am joyless and it hurts to stay
Sing me the sad songs that I used to sing to you
hands across your face, lids upon your eyes
I wish I could soothe the stones above your
falling chest and be your air
So hear me here as I sing all the happy songs
that could have been our life story
