Stay gold
Mandarin sunset
        Silver moon
What have you
thoughts
About each avenue
Dry those sweaty palms
And cry me a smile
I've been lookin in your eyes too long
        Through the cracks in my mirror
My friend
Remember how you loved
                          The ocean
How you loved the river
And the graffiti sky
Why did you leave us
                   Goodbyes
And a somber universe
Tears mundane
In your lulliby
Under those headphones
Beneath the bricks
What did you scribble
In those notebooks
Sharon Van Etten played
And you brushed your locks
The stage lit
              You looked
Such a shooting star
Emerald heart
               Under the rot
Why did you leave me
With the look of silence
When you talked to yourself
                          I heard quiet
In that broken mirror
It was your halo
Fallen on fear
          My own
Remember how you remembered
The earth in all its dirt
And the way water formed
                     Thirst
You were so hungry
Yet such a meloncholy
        Diet
. Mr you never understood   
How to calculate old
                  Stay gold

Those fast fast
Cars
Naked candy
Those sweet scars
Remember how you loved
                  The intimate air
And how you used to breath in error
How you loved champagne
Spilled on a yellow dress
                    Kissing tears
Those mornings that never came
Until the night
My shattered mirror
The way you looked in every piece
   Scattered
Everywhere
Sharon Van Etton played
Her voice stared
Deep in your pupils
        My hazel wear
Remember how you used to laugh
And people heard
How you loved nature
     But you didn't here
Why did you leave us
All these pictures
Only albums could hold
                          Frames
Smothered in accordions
Why did you leave us
Oh-
Stay gold
