what if a year brings nothing new?
he channels shape and color and he could really feel,
he could really reach you.
write it down and cross it off
write it down and cross him off
going out just to be gone,
so they don't forget your face
unapologetic,
words pour without refrain.
just a moment of desperation.
but they still sting and they surround me
drain your glass, pour another
smile and walk away.
no one will see you falter.
arrogant and oblivious.
you should have seen it coming.
your eyes overflow with sympathy
but i know what you're really thinking.
"i told you so."
(and they always do)
but i never really want to listen.
so you retreat back in to your head,
the most dangerous place to be.
with clarity, or sobriety,
the air gets thick and it's hard to breathe.
so you hide in the haze,
when you want to break free
i could fly if it weren't for this cage
i could love if i wanted to
i could be
free.
