The Watchtower

Take me to the edge of the world.
Strip me to my barest bones.
Remind me that I’m not alone.
Ship me off to the cosmos.
Mysterious shape of an empty room
Silhouettes against a dark moon
Let me bask in a field of dandelions
Braid them into chains in my hair
Bottle up the summer fireflies
Put your lips to mine if you dare
Walk me up to the watchtower
Lose yourself in this torrent rain shower
Encase me in my funeral pyre
Send my soul off to the stars
