I wrote
and wrote
and wrote
and wrote
and wrote
and wrote
and wrote

And you read
And kept reading
And said so many things
And most were not hollow
But in the morning, we're still
Across borders
Across highways
Across Oceans
Separate lives

Weekend in Jersey
It's baby Sin City, but
Daddy wont sin, much

I knew this girl once.
I won't say we were friends
Because we weren't.
I should say, she knew me.
A girl knew me once.
And I was too afraid
Too young
Too angry
To know her back.
So we pretended for a while
And then we stopped.
She stopped seeing me
Just as I started seeing her
Just as I started knowing
Just as I started being.
Time dragged me
And I tried to be blind
I tried to stop seeing
And just when I thought
I was ready
To never see again
She appeared
And drew my hands from my eyes
And looked at me for a long time.
We saw each other as we always were
As we always are
And then we turned our backs
And walked apart.
I screamed
And realized
I would never be blind again.
