One more word

[image error]

It’s not remotely close to a surprise

I am again confronted with your lies

You fooled me once again inside a song

I’m comforted to know I wasn’t wrong

You can’t deal with a world that’s absent light

While I cradle the darkness that you fight

I lash myself with lessons soaked in years

While i toast with an empty glass of tears

Keep running to the next clean shining game

Avoid compassion, truthfulness and shame

You hate the fall,it’s nature’s reckoning

But maybe there’s a countdown when you sing

you should wonder why you flee

Each time a leaf might leave your tree

What matters is what’s rooted, rare

What matters is the messy care

I’ve held you through the seasons you despise

But this winter is your sad cold reprise

I have tasted this cold salt

I know so much is my fault

For you I wish you joy and hope it is heard

For me,

on you,

I won’t waste one more word
