Rivers and Lakes pt​.​4

lyrics

I wonder what we would have done in the backyard
if I would have pulled down the dark sky to meet you
and cover your lips with reflections of ships in the sky

you may have known
all the time
deep in my walls
I kept pictures to live by
and I needed you
with me
but we never met
skin to skin

you told me I couldn't touch your face
and for some reason I believed you
I never understood why the flowers bled ink on the carpet in the middle of your room
how did you look past the antique eyes and precious obsessions that hung from the ceiling
the vacant expression on your unconscious mouth made me forget to remember your voice

but I'm not afraid
to leave you alone
in the attic
where no one but I will go
and rummage through
things that I left here to breathe
soft dusty sunlight fills the air

and carefully cares for your february locket
wrapped in tissue paper and coughing in your pocket
all I could think of was you never taking it off
