April #15

For one week
we've slept
through the world.
We should've known,
it wouldn't last,
we live with the past.

For one week
we've lived
all alone.
We should've known,
it wasn't real,
just how we feel.

For one week,
we've let
it fade away.
Now we've got to try,
to stay alive,
fight through the days.

April #1

for three weeks
she slept
through the rain.

he had to try
to keep her dry

but he ran out of ways.

for three weeks
she hid
from the stars

he had to try
to keep her by

all in a night.

for three weeks
she cried
every day

he had to try
to dry her eyes

had to find out the way.

it's been
three weeks
she wakes up
looks at the sky
opens her heart.
