Oh, Dubious One.


Split decisions
Long nights
What’s right?
Is it wrong?
Can I reverse time?
Is it all gone?

Swift strength
Invisible battle scars
Empty bottles
A sea of cigarette butts
What did I do?
Can it be undone?

Below the line
Above the rest
Inbetween the mess
It won’t recede
Scream for help
Quick, but be discreet

What’s the time?
Is it June 2018 yet?
Silly girl
That’s not how it works
What will you do
In front of the world?

Unforgiving territory
You chose this
Remember, you chose this?
Don’t give up now
Don’t hit reverse
Keep your eyes on shifting grounds

My love
You’ve come this far
There’s more to see
We discussed ‘messy’
Remember we did?
This is how you break free

Oh, dubious one
Shed this old skin
Don’t think too much
Don’t ponder too hard
We’ve got this, okay?
We’re back at the start

Rewrite all you like
This is yours to live
We’ll get through
Don’t avoid these moutains
Don’t hide your light
We’re going to win this

Oh, my old friend
Cry all you like
Don’t you hold back
Don’t lose your might
We talked about this
It’s just you & I

No one can do this for you
You have to buck up
I wish I knew more
But I’m learning too
Come on, brave girl
You know what to do

And whenever you need it

I’m right here for you.
