I know you’re not fine but you will be soon
I can help you live if you help me too

Why aren’t you next to me your friends are fine you could’ve been here hours ago
Just leave them at the bar
Cool air at night time, bites like a hindsight
Your eyes were so bright While I walked back from town
Our joined breath fades like a neighborly façade
I don’t like your braids but now you’re who I want
I didn’t care who all I wanted was some company
Your thoughts were new your face was nice and kindly looked at me
You moved away I let you go you crawled to my friend
You know I’d never do a thing like that
Even the sex isn’t good when you’re not in love
You want the best for us but I just want the best for you
I wish I had as much control as the traffic lights
At least released from the seatbelt in the cab’s back seat
Why aren’t you next to me (every single day)

It Rains

I don’t need you I don’t need anything
I’m still so young I’m right where I should be
The strains and sprains are all one in the same
I’m self resolving it rains but barely hails I wake each morning to a cool fan calm calm blank ceiling
The paint drips to the floor my keys have their own drawer
A job is not my life a God that clears my mind
Were never really through you know I’ll always be there
I don’t need you I don’t need anything
I’m still so young I’m right where I should be

We Don't Speak

I doubt myself
And don’t reply
If I had it right my walls would be brighter
At 25 I thought I’d know how to
Keep hold my own mind
Live without blindsides
The riverside the creek that I would walk past after work
The way the rocks would hold the water from the patch of dirt
Reminds me of that road trip to the east coast in that sedan
We drove like it was 1949 the basin shot the falls into the granite at my feet
I looked around and at that moment my life felt complete but those two friends
It aches my head how we don’t speak I guess that’s how it goes
I am not someone they need
Keep hold my own mind
Live without blindsides
I try to hide the things that I don’t like
About my life but I should let go

Stay In

Exit seat Room for my knees
Cold window the sun seemed close
Rough landing a tremor in a cave the flooded aisle way
Detroit air pierced the gate
Snowy concrete My chest felt warm
Sense of home from familiar potholed roads
My dad picked me up, it’s been a few months
He choked up when we hugged
Last week I went out every night
Now I want to stay inside
Trees were white the street was ice
A fire burned in front of a love seat
Tenderness, all the picture frames
Against the wall multiplied
Last week I went out every night
Now I want to stay inside
