Atlas

words and feelings scraped together from beneath my sofa and the tiny hidden pocket inside my bag

[atlas-collection]

Red on white

It doesn't scare me

Just a day dream

let it drain me

[atlas-collection]

Hold tight, my pilgrim

For when I cross the river styx

And take your hand in mine

I'll not look back, I promise

they'll never fool us twice

[atlas-collection]

I would bend the earth

And build new horizons

Just to see her

Watch a sunrise

made just for her

[atlas-collection]

Ten years, a lifetime

Sleep and noise and comfort

And tiny

tiny

snowdrop paws

[atlas-collection]

What happened to the boy

That once shared this room

Where did he go?

This boy

made of love

[atlas-collection]

Look

The fires, they rise

Come, come find me

In the shallows

of the last

ocean tide

[atlas-collection]

Live

Live again

Live a thousand times

Just stay, for me

One last

time

[atlas-collection]

Maybe the multi-verse is real

And I'll get to start again

In another place

And another time

Wouldn't that

be nice

[atlas-collection]

Watch me

Lock my bones

And grind my teeth

I'll hold the tide

I'll the

hold

tide
