My days seemed to come in pairs they were so long they felt like separate entities I couldn't feel their wear so I didn't know to search for remedies
We ate canned food off crystal plates and that fine china must have weighed more than the burdens locked in our fates
I remember peeling the gray from around your eyes like a second skin and it was time to fall off but still hanging by a thread crispy and cracked
and I could feel the miles in our bed even when every way I reached my fingertips always seemed to find you
I was only happy when I was far away and only comfortable to come home So I slept on the side you always lay and I pushed you away and I wanted you to stay
