Hardwood

The hardwood underneath my back is a ballad

It is listing a long letter of words along my spine

all related to missing something

I arch my back to release the air so I can create more space for you.

 

You left me on a Tuesday

and I can't recall what day it is now but I know you're gone and the days have passed like the sun shining through a glass house, sort of beautiful, sort of broken

Let's be honest

You said it was you but we know it was me

My wool socks remind you of your grandfather

I hardly ever write

I drink wine far too often for one human and of course,

My lips never quite kissed you well enough

Who wants well enough

Nobody and I don't blame you

I blame myself because I spent 1563 nights complaining about dishes

Who the **** would wanna live like that

 

I swear I tried, I guess
