She folds her arms up nicely
|
Lays them down Upon the table
|
Wipes her mouth off as she
|
Tries to find another word for love
|
She hangs her skin up by the
|
Window looks to see that all the
|
Doors are open
|
The She sits alone and
|
Wonders where you've gone
|
I counted your lingering
|
I counted time between thunder
|
And lightning
|
I counted into silence, counted chickens,
|
Counted sheep, counted 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...
|
Upstairs she hears the space
|
Between the words you never said
|
She licks the tiny stone she gave herself
|
And swallows all her worry
|
Won't you leave me forever, won't you leave
|
For good?
