"For an Aunt"

I would say I was lonely,

Those days I spent alone.

And they say that for lonely

there is no cure known.

And they say that for the lonely,

no sum of people can comfort

But in my times of sadness,

You were my sole support.

They say that life doesn't fit the boundaries,

that we must think outside the box,

I would say I was trapped inside,

Living life by schedules and clocks.

I was in a box but out of the circle,

or maybe I was in a circle but out of the box-

or maybe we're all just in this giant triangle

within a pyramid, on top of a hill.

Whatever shape they put it in,

They'll never be fulfilled.

They say there's a pill for everything,

that science holds the cure.

But I'd say you've been everything,

that without you,

I could not have endured.
