My first post

Here's a song I wrote about my friend who has cancer....I hate putting myself out like this, but since this site is a secret, I guess it's fine.

Octopus

Simple lives
and simple dreams.
Photographs
of better things.
Drift along,
the seven seas.
Not knowing
the blowing
is more
than a breeze.

[Chorus]
Will the water still hold you
when your hair is gone?
Will anyone be there
when the treatment is long?
Will you still be sick
when they hear this song?
Will you give up the fight
if the battle goes on?

The beeping
the smell
the hospital gown.
The oppressive atmosphere
that gets you down.
You breathe in air,
and yet you drown.
It hurts to go on
without my octopus around.

[Chorus]
Will the water still hold you
when your hair is gone?
Will anyone be there
when the treatment is long?
Will you still be sick
when they hear this song?
Will you give up the fight
if the battle goes on?

[Refrain]
The ocean hasn't been the same,
each of us holding a part of the blame.


That's all. Octopus is her nickname.....if that part is confusing.
