Now that I know what I’d hoped had to be in
mind was true and refused and just in time
Do you wonder why?
It seems I let up with the dents of a near-collision.
I couldn’t call and wrecked and turned up missing.
But until then
I’m cutting to the end
it’s cold in the light
the one we never seemed to find
I opened the door instead,
"
But you knew the lock
and the way I was looking
and still not a thing was said
I guess I can show that I thought I’d never
have you long
it’s a wall that you feel but you’re already slipping
and away you slide
can you take the ride
what did it mean when we stood
with our building slanted high
and we spoke of harder times
I pulled the rafters down
but the ghosts were only dropping
and honey since that night
