I walked the Holland Tunnel once

by latinwaters

I can tell you all about betrayal And heartbreak Just ask about the time I spent alone on your birthday at your headstone Let's talk about our car rides And the way you ripped up the map Then set your destination to the insides of my chest cavity And how you expected it to be perfectly paved to your veins Or when you thought my soul was the key to your north node I wanna talk about how every time I watch a star die out It's just a reminder that memories don't last forever At least ours didn't Or maybe this is me trying to forget you like you forgot me Id give anything just to speak with you one last time And ask you to teach me how easily it was for you to leave someone you once called home
