stairway
i froze her name in salt water
like the icy tears she left behind
i buried her image in ash and sand
like what she did to my heart when it shattered and burned
i let the wind take her
let her be, let her go
but still can’t quit her
she’s anchored in my soul
bloody crescents and scars
been holding on too tight
seeking refuge in the stars
the brightness overwhelms me
let her be, let her go
for my freedom, what price?
