Tied to a night they never met...

via all the mountains

Living the beat

Tambourins and baseballs

Throwing tunes and homeruns

Crawled into laughter and sat

Where now do you know?

I thought you were the sweetest killer-

Did you even notice I let you go?

Sitting outside to feel inside

Held my hand

Touched soapy bathtub suds

Found night gowns in olden times

Because you said no

I thought you were the sweetest

All the time making things right

Thinking bout life

You looked different the other night

Validating sudden insight

Want to sit with me?

Met upon a coffee-

Bench beside my sight--

Was it just pretend?

And when we were too young-

Just for show--

So now you just sweetly go?

Painting from a warehouse of found faded

Someone else made my garden dream

I rewind and un-right nursery rhymes

Faded in the backyard playground

Don't notice me turn away
Let me let you break me

Wrestling color and words

Canvas stars stare back at me
Singing this is the sweetest kill
