can I see you’re torn between
continually crying,
and some sense of normalcy?
(everyone claps from the sidelines, but me (and sings)
for I am overjoyed
often compelled (to avoid a self-certain end)
to scrutinize the frame, and that look (in your eyes)?
and turn it into a love song again
there’s nothing to forgive,
so let safety win
took the time, thought a lot,
it’s just one more sad ride back to the station with him
then let it pass away
don’t look back, don’t say
you’ve arrived, or goodnight
(or at least don’t start it)
don’t say
anything
like a sudden fall
how you both kept it cool, played it off
after a year
spent caving in, you’ll be alright
wait for me, wait for me, no (could never)
the horns drown it out
I’ve learned to be an anchor
and let it ride,
see you on the jersey side
was it all you missed?
louder still
departures,
wearing thin
in a kinder home.
you fought like hell
