Weeping separation

To hear weeping fall
like music from a father's lips:
"O Absalom my son!"
To search to understand in vertigo,
to run across a barren mind
with a fading purple sky
to your own river separating
North from South;
a divided kingdom.
Sobs sounds across borders
like the bellows of livestock
that bleat longingly across a pasture.
They lament their own
who crossed over the boundary:
those taken by kingship lust or crocodiles,
those riding, captured, hung in trees,
those devoured, put to pieces,
leaving only red rivers behind.

Last night I wrote a song. It isn't much, but I hope you like it
I only wish I'd written it sooner
Last night I played a song and recorded it
It isn't much, but I don't care
I thought of you and wondered if we could go back to the time when we had a chance
(when I had a chance, anyway)
You're on your own and I'm on my own
And I'm still confused as to how that happened
It hurts less now than it did before
But I don't blame you, I only blame me
I thought of you and wondered if we could go back to the time when we had a chance
(when I had a chance, anyway)
It's funny on the other side seeing how it used to bug me
But it doesn't really now because I'm not young and foolish anymore
I thought of you and wondered if we could go back to the time when we had a chance
(when I had a chance, anyway)
It's weird to be back here

Gone and vanished

I woke up sometime ago
I don't remember where I was
or what I did or if I did anything
I look left I look right
I look up and I look down
I look forward and I see nothing
I'm still here but everything else is not
I'm wondering if I've reached the other side
Did I die or did everyone else?
'Cause everything else is gone and vanished
Everything around me is one color
but which one I do not know
is it white is it black is it gray?
I don't see water I don't see land
I don't see air I don't see space
What did I do to lose everything?
I'm still here but everything else is not
I'm wondering if I've reached the other side
Did I die or did everyone else?
'Cause everything else is gone and vanished
Sometime last night something must've happened
but my memory is all gone
like a hard drive that's been erased by tech support
Now I'm out here confused and lost
I can't hear or see or smell
but I guess it's what happens at the end of time
I'm still here but everything else is not
This must be the other side
I mean, did I die or did everyone else?
'Cause everything else is gone and vanished
