Raft

Stay on the boat.

Get on up here goddamn it-

you aint leaving without me.

I've seen enough last beds damned by finality

and I refuse to let you be the next.

Get up on this goddamned raft

or I'll go before you do.

and if worse comes to worse

I will let myself go with you.

As raw as love

and doomed as fate-

as real as life.

A large standing rock in the water

a tombstone floating like a raft.

Happiness is a strange ration

but you're not gonna leave me today.

Its just not gonna happen.

not on my goddamned watch.
