Before I Go… Poem by Mark Heathcote

Before I go
My heartless senses - let me grow
My invisible pains, oh, waves, let me go
I have far to travel, don't you know.

Blushes, bullish, let me glow.
Silver tears all briny wet, let them flow
Let me paint my soul before you
Before I go

Some will say, we, they never parted company,
Did the sun ever truly leave the moon?
Did those dead stars ever leave their horizon?
Did their light ever give-up-shining in orbit?

Some will say they're still together.
Some will say for all eternity, their love shall shine
But in reality, I never cried
And -truly - they - they never died.

And shine forever, light our path.
My heartless senses - let me grow.
My invisible pains, oh, their waves, let me go
I have far to travel, don't you know

Blushes, bullish, let me radiate and glow
Silver tears, all briny, wet, let them flow
Let me paint my soul before you
Before I go
