Deep Soul Treasure


from the ABC set Cigarettes, Beer and Love

A friend said today.
That I have to split love.

Between,
a reason,
a season,
or forever.

I'd never heard that before.
But it makes a sense.

Although it's still raw.
I think of her,
only as a reason.

The lessons learnt.
Both dark and bright.
Will stay with me.

She had a job.
And she's done it well.

For she was a deep treasure.
As soulful as Sam Cooke.
and as cold as Bjork.

She sent me.
Honest she did.
