My Friend Who Became a White Stargazer Lily

How long has it been since you've showered yourself in the blue light of the moon?
Wrapped like a blanket in your parent's backyard
With fuck-all to say or do?
Surrounded by corn fields, some weeds by your backpack
And pebbles inside your shoes?
And if this is where you belong now, I get it
I'll write, and I'll say something cool
Only if I'm allowed will I visit, expected
So your parents don't shoot me for trespassing
And on days that are sunny
I'll bring you some water
And talk like you're still here, you never left
Not that you'd have ears but I once read a study
That plants can have feelings too

And for you I have enough of that
For you, I'd lay it all down
Pack it in and tend to it
So carefully, so that maybe
Those roots will reach you

Lay your fate right down in front of me
Let it hang, collect your change
Turn yourself inside out

You smile up and ask me
You ask me what the time is
Does it exist there, and do you feel it?
I wont know that until I join you
But that's not enough to kill me
No, that's not what I'd have wanted
I bleed so I can feel you
Holding me up, and I should have asked you
What your favorite color was
What your favorite song was
