Just cry and it's a crisis
You sigh and put the sigh back in silence
My tortoise taught don't pee in the sea
Give into your grief like me
Don't bother with denial
Bereavement is the key to survival
That tortoise was my husband you see
Live and breathe your grief like me
Mock me I'm living in shock here
My cheeks thick with tears
My heart is a dark polar block dear
No one comes near
No loss could ever match mine
They weep the weep but I lost my Rabbi
My tortoise taught us Torah, you see
Meet yourself in grief like me
Mock me i'm living in shock here
Such pearls are my tears
My heart is mock Loch Ness Monster
Just don't come near
My life has lost all porpoise
I lost my hare
I lost my hair
I lost my tortoise!
So so I sing King Lear-y ally
Kvell within your shell like me
Just build your walls (tell the shell)
That's better (of grief, the wonder)
Retract your head (tell the shell)
You won't get wetter (of grief)
Love is brief (swell the shell)
And time's a thief (of grief duck under)
Climb into your shell of grief (swell your shell of grief)
So sweet
