We Need to Get You a Key
"We need to get you a key made"
First day in our new apartment
And I don't have a key yet
But I'm excited
Our words echo off the empty walls
And we argue over where the couch should go
We settle in, piece by piece
And everything is okay
"We need to get you a key made"
We've been living here for two months
Our habits are formed
There is ritual to the day
I try to find things to occupy my time
Projects and music and poetry
You go out every night
And I'm alone in an empty bed
"We need to get you a key made"
You aren't ever home
You've lost yourself
You are pulling away from me
"We need to get you a key made"
We fall apart
Piece by piece
You say you need space
We break up
I move out
I don't need a key anymore
This is all I could manage to write.
