The Password to your House
The password to the entrance of your home is
I brought beer
I love you with my liver
If you were a city
You'd be Atlantis
I would be its shorelines
We have both participated
In each other's floods
We were never levies for one another
I will not hold back the ocean for you
I will pick you back up when I can though
So that you can be a landscape that is timeless
In your presence
we are never killing time
We are defining minutes into laughter
So that we can walk away happy
Even in silence
We are living
I called myself homeless
and you said
I wasn't
but I couldn't stay here forever
Then you asked me
"Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?"
Then we sank into sleep
And I know your mornings
Your noise
Your wake up call
Takes getting used to
But that is fine
Because I know your flood
and your drought
And I love you with my liver
And yeah
I brought beer
