You dropped our love today I think when you left early for work I saw it as I left with the kids tossed to the side I think the postman caught it in his heel
the garnish glittery golden bits of me faded effortlessly into the subtle serious silver bits of you smelted for a bit and became slowly solid indestructible undefinably bronze.
The words that fall from my mouth should only be for me yet they rain upon your head like an untuned symphony and somehow you turn my words into a tune
Your love makes a fool out of my love your love walks ten miles more than my love your love speaks sonnets my love mumbles your love screams my love whispers your love fills the room my love locked in a tomb
Let your love carelessly flow over me let your words make no difference to me let your smile make a fool out of me let someone else anyone but you let someone else anyone but you let someone else dear God let someone else take me home tonight
I don’t know what it feels like to be half as cool as you Manhattan is busy and so are you I don’t know what it feels like to be half as busy and important as you
Let us leave our love here where it began where it was pure where we were sure that we knew better let us leave our love here where it is safe and untainted from the people we have both become,
I wake to a noisy Manhattan morning while my children wake to a boring boarding school yawning on the other side of this morning on the other side of the world every bit of mother in me knows I should save them be on the next flight from Newark I could make it before nightfall I could scoop them up I could save their souls.
You want me to understand that you have wasted your life believing what your mother said she believed what she said she had no choice but she never wanted you to believe it too.
I buried my father although no one claimed the **** I buried my father with my brother, my sister my mother dressed to **** I buried my father we haven’t bothered with the will
My eyes can’t quite see you my ears struggle to hear you my arms can’t quite reach you my lips cannot speak to you my heart can’t quite love you my sister never quite liked you.
You played my love like the sweetest violin the music so sweet to me I couldn’t see the begin I was soaked in gin I couldn’t see the begin the begin forgive me I couldn’t see the begin.
has there ever been a better day than this has there ever been a better place than this has there ever been better people than this has there ever been a better feeling that this probably , I guess. I just haven’t been there yet.
Such a deep pond, this but nobody pushed me in I dived with joy I thought it would be such cooling water endorsing my joy I never thought never realised I would end up gasping for air.
Let me take your broken dreams and put them back together bit by bit crack by crack and if we can’t find the missing bit let’s learn to miss it heart by heart
