Who knew?

The counting crows, cruising facebook, crunching chocolate.
If there were a waste of life, I'd qualify.
Who knew,Lou, I'd be getting nothing but high.
The burn in my throat, my mom thought I had a cold.

I still sleep that way, my leg over yours.
On my side, my head rested on your shoulder.
While my hand reached across your stomach, we sleep.
We slept.

Your hands never got tired holding yourself over me.
And if they did, you held me even closer.
I loved you more each time your lips stretched over your teeth.
I loved you more each time.

But between you lips leaks diceit.
Lift your fist, see me shaking.
You love seeing that line between my brows,
The crease that means your apathy has me beat.

I combed my fingers through your hair,
The gel stuck in it.
But my fingers couldn't stop.
I even tried, I tried.

We were making a future, we saw it.
I drink whiskey and play poker.
You always wait for me, so we're together.
You waited for me, who knew?
