Does time heal everything?
Because I, still feel the same.
Will you please take me away?
Oh please just take me away.
I used to be so strong, well not really just was numb to it all.
Undertow
In my earliest memory I am drowning,
upside down in the shores of my hometown.
I’m two years old, on the sand with Mom,
seaglass in our pockets
and startling cool water on our toes.
Superstorm Sandy took away my home.
She didn't take away the walls or the floorboards,
and my bed hasn't moved at all. But
She took away our light, for all of
seven solid nights.
