Like a Ripple in a Puddle

I keep talking to you

Whether you passed in your sleep

Or your brain shut down

Or your body turned against you

I keep talking to you

And we’re sometimes yelling

Sometimes laughing

And sometimes crying

And I don’t know what I’d rather have

Someone that wants to talk to me when I’m gone

Or my short life to be forgotten

Like a ripple in a puddle
