closer

basement of a 

coffee shop

sheltered from the 

rain

the song comes on 

poignant

the song that grabs

pulls

me back 

two years ago 

walking in sheets

of rain 

"she took my heart"

listening to this 

song 

tears escaping

walking 

the sweetest misery

torn

"i think she took my soul"

trapped

in deterioration

and unrealized 

expectations

how to

escape?

but now it makes me

smile and ache

"baby where do i sleep?"

could it ever be

did you know

how i felt back then 

i dreamed of you 

my friend

"with the moon I run far"

your intoxication 

your dark beautiful 

energy 

pulling me in while 

simultaneously pushing 

me far away

you are the master of

coinciding contradictions

i know that now 

how long ago it all seems 

"from the carnage of the fiery sun"
