wide eyed, I died in heaven to wake up on your mattress wrapped up in some foreign emotion like the ocean right at sunset’s frozen in time and it’s the backdrop to my life
lifted neurosis, I can try to eulogize you but to remember the sleepless nights alone in December? cold as the weather? sold down the river? I’d rather shut my eyes
than watch you fade let you die and say goodbye and turn the page read into new things seeds started growing in a garden I’d forgotten existed
flower, now-or-nevers never meant that much to me but here without you now it seems that I might never get to sleep
