My heart danced every shift Every hour of our work This friendship born form a myth On a timetable- Ready to be clocked in I was down further than- Just being down on your knees I was six feet deep This all was when we met You might've never know The impact you had on my soul Life flashing by like a still full Why is it after all these months I still regret the way we never talked I was committed to someone Who wasn't you, and yet it was nice A friendship ready to bloom It felt like you say me With all the colors and hues And yet you said, let me unpack And sit back, with a coffee Watch this woman love life And fall back in love with it Right beside my own heart That's stopped beating when- She blocked my number And maybe you were never mine, not even in kindness, but for every shift we stayed late I healed within the silence, while your voice reminded me how worth showing up I still was Even when work would drive me crazy When you showed up I knew That life didn't have to sit still Even when after I left- you, You never left, me.

Clocking into what never was
My heart danced every shift Every hour of our work This friendship born form a myth On a timetable- Ready to be clocked in I was down further than- Just being down on your knees I was six feet deep This all was when we met You might've never know The impact you had on my soul Life flashing by like a still full Why is it after all these months I still regret the way we never talked I was committed to someone Who wasn't you, and yet it was nice A friendship ready to bloom It felt like you say me With all the colors and hues And yet you said, let me unpack And sit back, with a coffee Watch this woman love life And fall back in love with it Right beside my own heart That's stopped beating when- She blocked my number And maybe you were never mine, not even in kindness, but for every shift we stayed late I healed within the silence, while your voice reminded me how worth showing up I still was Even when work would drive me crazy When you showed up I knew That life didn't have to sit still Even when after I left- you, You never left, me.
