Shiplocked

I am the beat down shore
Maybe I am the heron, too
Maybe I am the sun
The wind
The water
The waves

I am sad love songs
Maybe I am the lover, too
Maybe I am love
Sticks
Islands
Bridges

When I come here
When I stay with me
When I stay alive
It feels poetic
I know it’s worth it
I just don’t know what I want

I need goals
Is that true?
I need other people
I don’t want to

In the end,
That’s what keeps me going
I keep me going, too
Somehow
Against all odds
Despite my brain
My body is here
My heart, it breaks
And yet, love remains
From where, I can’t say

Maybe it’s the sun
The wind
The water
The waves
Sticks
Islands
Bridges

I feel you, Edgar
I feel me, too
I feel all of you

And at the same time,
I feel nothing at all
Is that true?

I am the beat down shore
And something tells me
Beyond that,
I am more

Whoosh
Whistle
Roar, roar, roar

Silence and sound are both illusions
