Life in a heartbeat
Where the heart leaks
With my speech lost floating in a vast sea
Come swim with me
I am almost drowning in these waves that you can’t see
Her name was synaesthesia
She sat back and watched music like a theatre
All I catch is black though I believe in her
I can’t comprehend what her pupils were teaching her
I guess we all keep reaching huh
Try and make it out the basic
Or we’re chasing love
We choose our favourites you know
Got to follow stuff
Pick a side
Pick a sport
Or pick a church
Pick something anything to distract from hurt
From the lack of self-worth or the empty purse
Let’s distract
Play a part
Depart
Communities in agreement are immunities from reason

Star sign Cancer
Water is my element
Year of the rabbit
I believe in what the heaven-sent
Or heavens said
Hellbent on heavens text
All for heaven’s sake
God nothing is irrelevant
In retrospect a speck of dust
Can nudge and have purpose
Like all of us does
Yet we forget as much
We neglect and accept and expect the worse
We’re empaths to each other
Walking them paths and stutter
Through hail stones and thunder
Continue pushing further and mutter
I’ll do it for you
I’ll hold your hand if you take mine too

My names Drew
But that was man-made
And who I am was not a choice that I made
It’s what my dad said
And through my mum’s gaze
I am the skin I’m in
But only in this short space
