Mar 8
I took some time
You knew at sight
I knew we’d fight
You crossed the line

I’ve tried my best
You’ve had a few
I’ve paid the dues
You’ve got the rest

I’ll bear the weight
You’ll bare the cost
I’ll still be lost
You’ll still be late

I’m in our bed
You’re overseas
I’m in the weeds
You’re on my head

I grab the wheels
You’re home at four
I’m out the door
You’re on my heels
for J. P.
--
the ones that teach you,
who lift you up over
their heads in
good faith;
these are their stories.
