LOW TIDE
LOW TIDE
S.JENSEN © 2017
SCARS ON FEET
REMIND ME
OF HOW THINGS
REALLY ARE
HOW HARD IT
MAKES TO WALK
WITH FRESH MARKS
BLISTERS AND SCRAPES
SIGH
SUN IS SHINING
YET MY HEART
IS GREY
AND STORMING
IN A RAIN
THAT KEEPS FALLING
ENDINGS
ARE NEVER
GOOD
CAT DIDN’T WAKE
ME THIS MORNING
HE ISN’T WELL
CHANGES
THAT ARE IN
THE TIDES
ALL I HEAR
IS THE WORD
DONE
LOSING MY
INSPIRATION
LOSING MY
HEART
TODAY
MY EMOTIONS
ARE VERY LOW
I WILL BE OK
JUST IN
A FUNK
AND I KNOW WHY
BUT WHAT
CAN I DO
ABOUT IT
FOR A WEEK
ALL I HAVE
WANTED TO
DO IS SLEEP
ITS STRANGE
HOW WE RELY
ON THE
THOUGHTS
AND LIVES OF
OTHERS
TO HELP OUR
MOODS
TO GIVE US
MEANING
WHEN WE FEEL
SO LIKE
EVERYTHING
IS AGAINST US
IS IT A SELFISH
THING TO
FEEL
THAT JOY
THAT WAS THERE
NO I DON’T
THINK SO
ESPECIALLY
WHEN IT KEPT
A HEART GOING
FOR SO LONG
WHEN YOU DON’T
HAVE MUCH
YOU TRY
TO MAKE DO
FAMILY HELP
SOME
BUT ITS NOT
EASY
AT ALL
THE SIMPLE
THINGS
THAT MUSIC
FEEDS INTO
MY SOUL
THAT WHEN
ITS NOT THERE
HOW DARK THINGS
SEEM
EVEN WHEN
THE SUN IS SHINING
BRIGHTLY IN THE SKY
I BELIEVED IN
SOMETHING
BETTER
AND IT PUSHED
ME FARTHER
THAN I THOUGHT
I COULD BE
AND I KEEP TRYING
I KEEP GOING
CAUSE
ITS ALL I CAN DO
YET THERE
IS A HOLE
THAT
SIMPLY
JUST IS NOW
I WON’T BEG
I WON’T PLEAD
FOR SOMEONE
TO SHARE
JUST SOMETHING
NOT FEELING
WELL
DOESN’T HELP
MATTERS
MUCH
LOVE IS SUCH
A STRANGE
THING
SILENCE
CARRIES
AND
MY MIND
IS LIKE
OH SO THAT
IS ALL
THERE IS
NO FRIENDSHIP
NO NADA
ALL OR NOTHING
THING
SO MAN IT
FEELS LIKE
THAT LIFE WATER
YOU SO
GATHER
AND COLLECT
TO KEEP
YOU GOING
IS REACHING
THE BOTTOM
OF THE BOTTLE
EVERY DROP
THE RIPPLES
IN THE WAVES
DIE DOWN
AND
THE SMOOTH
SURFACE
IS STILL
NEVER THOUGHT
SOMETHING
SO SMALL
IN PERSPECTIVE
COULD
AFFECT
ME SO GREATLY
TO SEE
THE SPARK
TO SEE THE
LIVELINESS
TO SEE THE
HEART
THAT BEATS
JUST STOP
SETS MY OWN
HEART
SO LOW
WE DONT REALIZE
EXACTLY
WHAT WE
REALLY DEPEND
ON TIL
ITS GONE
WHAT MOTIVATES US
WHAT WE
SHOW
AND WHAT WE
CARE
AND HOW DEEP
IT CAN RUN
AND HOW
MANY IT AFFECTS
IN THE
SILENT CURTAINS
EVERYTHING
STILL TURNS
EVERYONE STILL
GOES ON
DOING WHAT THEY
DO
YET ITS SO STILL
THE WIND
IN MY TREES
THE BREEZE
THAT FILLS
MY LUNGS
IS JUST STILL
TODAY
I WILL BE OK
JUST
RIGHT NOW
I AM SO
MEH
FRIENDS
CAN SO MAKE OR
BREAK MY EMOTIONS
IT MEANS
SO MUCH
IN SO LITTLE WAYS
AND
I WON’T BE
SELFISH
I WILL TRY TO
UNDERSTAND
JUST SEEMS
MY MUSE
IS MEH TOO
WHEN WE NEED
THINGS THE
MOST
ITS LIKE
OH
WHEN ITS NOT THERE
HUN I LOVE YOU
I NEED YOU
THINGS ARE
ROUGH
AND I NEED THAT
LITTLE SPARK
TO JUST KEEP ME
GOING
THAT SIMPLE
THING WHEN GONE
TEARS AT ONES
SOUL
CAUSE WITHOUT
IT
NO ONE KNOWS
IF THEY ARE OK OR NOT
PUTS A
CONCERN
AND QUESTION
STILLNESS
RINGS
LOUD
ENERGY DRAINED
AND
GUESS ITS
JUST
WHAT IT IS
SO
I GO SLEEP
MORE
BODY IS TIRED
FROM
ONE HEART
TO THE NEXT
I CAN’T
BE THE ONLY
ONE THIS
AFFECTS SO
SIMPLE THINGS
THAT GIVE
US HOPE
I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU
DONT LET THIS DIE
NOW
BECAUSE OF
THE DARKNESS
HELP ME OUT
OF IT
PULL ME UP
AND I WILL
PULL YOU UP
GIVE MY HEART
REASON
BEYOND IT ALL
JUST THAT
SIMPLE SMILE
TO LIFE
TO KNOW
ALL IS OK
I DON’T ASK
BUT I SO NEED IT
IT MAKES
ME CRY
AND MY HEART
ACHE
SO SIMPLE
A THING
BUT OH SO DOES
IT REALLY
OH MY MUSE
WHAT WILL WE DO
I LOVE YOU
NEVER THOUGHT
SO MUCH
IN MY LIFE
DEAR FRIENDS
HOW MUCH IT MEANS
TO SEE
THE SIMPLE THINGS
OF THOSE
YOU CARE ABOUT

THEY ARE OK
THAT WHEN ITS NOT
THERE YOU ARE
LIKE DAMN

CAUSE WE HAVE TO
YET ITS LIKE
WHY DOES IT
HAVE TO BE
SO FREAKING
