It’s moments like these where words fall apart Where memories become littered with flashbacks to where this started Kitchen, Monday night You brought out the boxes and said it was time for me to go You said there was no coming back from this Tuesday night, Front porch I sat there waiting It’s moments like…

My hat is hung on the stray bullets that barely missed, Some attempt it was to end my life You won’t ever find me waiting again The kids who waited for you to come back and make this broken place A functional home The wallpaper we placed to make it feel less empty And those…

Breathe, Tell yourself it wasn’t your fault Tell yourself the fire was started by someone you’ve never seen before Blind man, hold these matches while my gasoline covers you in warmth And from the ashes your eyes will open Breathe Tell them it was their fault Tell them you saw them start the fire Deaf…

This isn’t goodbye forever, Just goodbye for now But I’ll probably never write another line about how I’m hurt and broken How badly I sit on my words and I’m badly choking Wanting to tell the world how I’ve been finding words that can’t be spoken If I ever wrote about you, I’m sorry If…
