I could never find the words to say not a simple joke or steadfast vow that would ever ease or comfort you still ashamed that I don't know how
when the lights were off we'd dare not speak naked anxious bodies tangled uncertain hands search for the right angle sweat and tears taste the same
the air was always stale after we shared a bed silent, intimate without a thought in my head truth is we were never meant to last like a cigarette burned away to ash
been years since last we spoke it's not like we ever did I'm relieved that your gone no need for such a friend
I could never find the words to say that would keep you content and at my side that would ever ease or comfort you I said nothing perhaps I should have lied
