[Levi The Poet - Chapter Twelve: Shores, and the New World lyrics]
If you're listening
We always talked about taking
That voyage together we
Didn't want to die in our sleep
Like so many people wish for or, at least
She didn't she thought it
Sounded boring, and even though
Dying scared me, i wanted to be brave enough
To engage in the fantasy
We decided we'd go out defending our
Tree house against the separatists
It was inevitable, once they'd finally
Discovered us kissing, traitorously
Beneath their cootie infested
"boys only" headquarters
We'd be cap-gunned to death
She thought it was romantic
"like Romeo & Juliet" - she'd say
And I'd say, "okay, " but
Wonder, like I always do
If anyone's actually heard that story
I finished our tree house with the few scraps
Of deadwood that I was able to
Drag back to land it seemed fitting, after
Our whole lives were broken homes
For all of those shipwrecked
Pieces to complete one
It's beautiful i feel like she
Might have called it redemption
For a split second, as I watched the last of
Her craft fall beneath the
Surface of the water
I thought that we are all only stones in the
Ocean, and maybe it didn't matter that much
Whether we lived or died but she
Was right about taking thoughts captive
I am lonely, and I can't reconcile
Loneliness with meaninglessness because
Like beauty, it leaves
Me wanting for more she is still a
Decision that floats out like debris
On ripples that began at her stone's throw
You were a mountain to
Me your earthquake leaves
Me trembling and I long beyond your beauty
Past your breaking and out into
Whoever is responsible for
Your new beginning maybe he knows the end
When you first set sail and pushed off to
Sea, I stood on the shore looking forward
Tongue tied and stubbornly holding tears
Behind my eyelids because no
Matter how much I liked you, girl
There was still a bit of boy
In me, and I wasn't about to
Weep with you staring back, smiling
I guess this is goodbye i knocked on
Every inch of this wooden tree
House to keep that word away, but
Goodbye, despite all of my efforts, remains
This is the last of our bottles if it ever
Makes it's way out to the new world
Know that it
Was unending love that fueled the
Moon's magnetic pull to pursue
You through the death that
Threatened to conquer it
And it is beautiful it cannot fail
It cannot fail it cannot fail
Definitely, infinitely
Intimately
Your king
