i am panicking
that i've scared someone away
by being too honest
but thats okay
no pressure
i'm just throwing out messy lines
no grand declarations
i want to know you first
anyway

In the courtyard there's an apple tree,
You can see it's branches sway in the breeze.
I sit on the stoop,
Watching,
As summer strokes those branches.
They say an apple falls right in it's place,
I can see that's not the case,
One lone apple blows over to me.

I lay beside you
With a troubled mind
I cannot sleep
You’ve been so unkind.
Your back is turned
Your shoulder is cold
What can I do to get
Back into the fold.
Why can’t you tell me
What I have done bad,
The longer it go’s on
Im beginning  to be sad.
I fall asleep in the
Morning your gone
Please please tell
Me what I’ve done wrong.

Last night
Mistakes
Got in the car
Intoxication
You laughed
It was funny
To you
I called my boyfriend
He sped to come get me
You were
Drunk
Driving
We almost
Died
Intoxication
You thought
It was funny
It wasn’t

I’ll give him the inside and the outside.
But he is preoccupied.
