And maybe one day I will wake up
and maybe I won’t want to die,
tears will stop rolling down my face
and I will get up to go see outside
***
If the whole world really did end
could you find me in other life times
You really ought to smell the flowers
and open your eyes to night sky
Beause I will find you in the starlight
and we will go dancing on moon beams
***
You won’t have to travel to Boston
and forget that your home isn’t Austin
You’ll finally see just how I smile
and we can then laugh for a while
And lovers will mend your heart broken
Then we will all live and go floating
I have etched in my soul your bright smile
And use your eyes as a reference you know
To remind me Your green is the gold
***
And when I drip into the water –
and it turns into pink from maroon
I hope it’s the shade of your cheeks
the first time that you knew you loved me
***
And when I’m no longer your sunshine
You go surf the waves for day
Find me in the light on the water
When even your blue skies turn grey
***
Now I am broken no longer as your freckles they rest in my hand
And it was never just hot sauce
but a lesson in love learned too late
***
So anyway, I guess I’ll live.
Unkindly yours,
A. J. Mercer
UnkindlyYours
