I know you're awake right now
and i’m still up, thoughts in overdrive.
I knew I was wasting my time,
but feathered brains speak in dissonance.
I knew you were gone months ago
with the wind as it guides the clouds,
laughing with sunshine and dabbling with the dark
as careless as you know I cannot be.
I stood grounded in mud, and you
kicking up dust on your heels
as you skipped away into the moon,
and I asked aloud why you left
but the pavement didn't answer me.
Silence filled me up like a ringing in my ears,
and it tasted like blood that I meant nothing,
and so I watched you drive away
and I said nothing.
