Daniel Jaffke

Memorial for Daniel P. Jaffke, a son, brother, and friend.

The Well Went Dry

The Well Went Dry


I awoke with the poison eating me whole
Light shed on the subject of life or death
Trivial said the shrinking voice in my head
It tastes the same with every single breath

The well went dry but I have wine
To carry these ghosts through out the night

Diamond rings and companions for knives
And all I have to show is this microphone
Not compatible with that puzzle called love
So I hold my breath until my heartbeat slows

The well went dry but I have wine
To carry these ghosts through out the night
The well went dry with every single try
To carry me back home one more time

Courage is looking back
Finding fact in so much fiction
Running off the tracks
Nightmare complexion

I sleep while the poison eats me whole
