Almost 3 weeks 

sense we left you 

but I'm home know

or am I?

I don't consider 

my house my home

just because it's where I live

but it's not where I love


The sea is my home

I'm a fish out of water 

or hooked on a line

being dragged away


from my home

from my life

maybe I'll be thrown back

but I'll likely be killed


the cardinal can't swim

so the sea is an escape

you can swim amazingly

so we escape together 


if I'm your bird

nagging at your shoulder

I shouldn't know to swim

but I haven't drown yet


we used to call

every day of the month

but it's been over a week

I miss you


you've left a hole in my chest 

you are a bullet

the sea was the gun

that shot you my way


with the hole in my chest

and the holes from the bird

I am becoming 

a slice of Swiss cheese


I'll be eaten

or maybe thrown away

used or wasted 

what if I waste myself?


The cardinal is growing on me

but not in a good way

like mold on cheese

or trash on a fish


it's my fault we can't call

it's my fault you're in trouble

it's my fault we are apart

it's my fault for failing 


sorry
