I knew at once I'd alphabetize the oceans
before I'd let you extinguish this.
You sing the consequence but sign your hope.
We wrote our book, collaboratively excellent.
Early on we saw the exceptions we made.
I knew at once I'd alphabetize the oceans
The difficult task before us seemed fun –
I was quite the fan of you, you liked pizza.
You sing the consequence but sign your hope.
Your friends saw the skip in your step, exuberance.
You promised me brilliance, summation, a life.
I knew at once I'd alphabetize the oceans
I'd not thought we'd visit a darkness like this.
You did, but defeated, desiccated the void.
You sing the consequence but sign your hope.
Wait, I see you climbing up without me –
How could you think I'd wanted an end?
I knew at once I'd alphabetize the oceans
You sing the consequence but sign your hope.
