I Sent For You

CW: suicide

I sent for you, did you feel me?

Lonely girl,

playing at the base of your father’s footsteps.

You had three imaginary friends,

Lisa, Moses,

and the third you could not name.

in your mind, always on your own

In the real,

I was always right there with you…


I sent for you, did you feel me?

Sad woman,

waiting in the garage with the exhaust running.

A little bird waits with you on the dash…

willing to die alongside you

if that’s what you choose.


But

if not 

my love was sent for you. 


Just stay for a little while…

I know you feel me.

You looked at that little bird

as if it was as big as God!


Worthy of life and death…

As you turn off the ignition,

what a joy it was

for you to choose life.

For yourself.

For that little bird.

And for me.


Forever yours,

The third imaginary friend,

Maia
