Sunlight filtered through
Subtracted by the smoke
And amplified by bottles on your shelf
Casting tiny arcs
On the wall you painted red
The other day your eyes were wide at
the storm outside
I could have told you that
It made me scared and full of rage
But I laughed in defense
Cuz the canvas reflects
More than the rain
Like the storm in our hearts
Days when you were gone
I wrote down the truth
Corked the note and I took it
to the Quarry
I mined a ton of regret from
the walls where were once slept
When I saw that bottle splash and
Spell our your name
I could have told you that
It made me scared like it was Fate
But I laughed in defense
Cuz the canvas reflects
More than the games
Like the ride that we’re on
I’m sorry…
That I didn’t run!
So sorry…
It took years at my crawl away
down from us.
you and I we always took our time
Days when you were here
We needed nothing else
Free, at least, from the voice
Within ourselves
I could have told you that
It made me scared
More than estranged
From the We used to be
I’m sorry…
That I didn’t run!
So sorry…
It took years at my crawl away
down from us.
you and I we always took our time
