The Hotelier - Dendron

You cut your t^Cies, felt bette^Gr off. ^CSalutations ^Gto your s^Fon. Awoke to f^Cind you he^Gading out With your w^Chite co^Gllar u^Amndone. ^AmYou placed a bar, I pl^Gayed a game to see how l^Cow that ^GI could g^Fo. We d^Cevelop me^Gntal pi^Fctures and we’re ^Cfollowin^Gg our ^Ffathers down the drain^G. ^C

Do you re^Ccall the i^Gmagery from when ^CI drove y^Gou away?^F Through others’ ^Crose prescription l^Gens, man I’m s^Corry ev^Gery day^F. because We i^Cntersect in^Gternally and then we t^Cake what we h^Gave and we ^Frun. and It a^Cll starts t^Go unrave^Fl until we’r^Ce less than we were ca^Grrying before^F. ^GYes, I expected more.

^CWake me up. ^GPictures of you smiling in times when I just couldn’t be around. ^CHold me up. ^GCount my rings to see how many winters I’ve been stuck here under ground. S^Cwore I’d n^Got burn out^F. Dig^Fging through the memories that ma^Fde you feel alive when you were young.^{C C}You were ^Gright to do^Fubt. ^CBroken since^G foundations^{F F}in the structures you were building came und^Cone.

the w^Gay you would push^F me from all of the ^Ctraps that I just^G couldn’t see^F. Figures the one^C that was the^Gre to have trippe^Fd you up ^Cwould be the one ^Gwas set there ^Fby me. Wish I was ther^Ce to say goodbye^G when you went away^F. Wish I was hom^Ce but noplace^G was there.^F I cut off my a^Crm at the bo^Gne in solidarity^F. Capital te^Caches that there’s le^Gss when you shar^Fe. I felt the noos^Ce tighten u^Gp on your collar bo^Fne. I felt the gun^C in the small^G of your b^Fack.

Engraved in the st^Cone by request and recur^Gse of friends dea^Fd is “Tell me a^Cgain that it’s a^Gll in my hea^Fd.”
