She took your angry clash of chords
& put them on the shelf
In cabinets that aren't as empty
But you could never tell
She ends the day with scattered laundry
& eyes that aren't quite clear
She'll dream that she's a different soul
With a different boat and pier
The words of long ago
Have let you seem
You're only as tall as the door
Will let you be
The touch of one hand could
Change your future
So why won't you
Let her?
She caught you when your
Guard was down
& failed to believe in
Tell-tale sounds
That sang your name
To her so sweetly
In the midst of her world
So greedily
She forgave herself for your good graces
& peace of mind
While you swore to understand
The meaning behind
Every unabashed lingering
Whisper
That spoke to you in pure
Remembrance of her.
