If I could I would sail/I will root you from my heart

Written 6/15/2013 (in California!)

If I could I would sail in a pea-green boat
On the crest of a bearded sea
With golden lettering on the outside
And inside, only me

I would chart a course for a distant land
Where aches and pains all fade
And time it crawls like sand-crabs do
Just above the waves

The sky above would be blackest black
Vast and proud and deep
And somewhere beneath the yellow stars
Dawn is lost at sea

Provisions I would bring only a few
Little more than I need
A bottle of love and one whole heart
That no one could break but me

And I would drift sans compass or map
As wealthy as I am poor
While below the ocean is silent as mist
And the sky above me roars

Also written in California, same day!

I will root you from my heart
Tear you out piece by piece
So the ache will not be too much to bear
The dirt may crumble and the soil may cave
But for my sake you cannot stay
And something will fill this hole one day
