I wish I were a turtle, slow and shy,

And losing you never made me cry.

Even if it did, I'd have no fears,

Butterflies would feast on my tears.


I wish I were a turtle, big and hard,

I'd always be home, under my guard.

If I would crack, my shell would stay,

Protecting me. From decay.


If I were a turtle, I'd have more time,

More time to mourn what used to be mine.

Instead I am a human, I have no shell,

I know exactly for whom tolls this bell.


If you were a turtle, and you lived long,

I'd understand why you were gone.

I'd get those bracelets to keep track,

Hoping one far day, you'd find your way back.
