in your name
We planted deep a family tree, and I spent two years worrying
Concern myself with how you sleep when I’m gone
But mostly on the petty things, they filled my guts with open wings
You remain inside my thoughts when I’m not home
From a chance encounter
We are only deja vu
Why do I keep searching through the grave they dug for me and you?
We planted deep this crooked tree and I spent years just digging
An ending never really seen til I came to
Mostly gone in mourning, dreams that flee without much warning
A feeling that Im better friends with than the truth…is you’ll never understand
We just waste the life we planned
We planted deep our family tree, and I spent time beside it
Another person sowing grief inside my home
The lines redrawn, The world moved on
While I was gone
In our random cycle
everything is overdue
Why do I keep chasing something
With a less than perfect view
I bet most our lives are
Wrapped up in our separate forms
(You’ll never understand)
Silent, codependent
but if it’s quiet she’ll get bored
(We just waste the lives we planned)
You don’t break the silence
You make it wish it wasn’t born
(No matter what I say)
This space inside my thoughts is
It’s in your name, it keeps me warm
This tree's growth, from sapling to oak
mirrors the phases of love, shared by most
Through the seasons, as branches broke
The roots worked in silence, bonding our spokes
The wind rustled leaves whisper secrets we spoke
For branches reach out to the sun not the smoke
We meet the tempests with love unprovoked
Enduring our seasons we're learning our oath.
