Screeching down the line,
whistle trees distracting
from impending separation
as we approach Belmont.
Tonight felt like forever
in the best way, and maybe
sometimes goodbye is just a comma;
I beg for more commuters to protest
our disconnection.
Maybe I missed your line
this time.
Maybe I missed something in the way you say
this is me
and looked back like you had so much more to say.
But not this time.
I think I'm reading all the lines
and hesitating.
Regulating our chaos,
my nervous system spazzes out
when you're around.
Your sexy laser eyes demolish me;
I'm leaking, ruining the hardwood floor.
Maybe I'm out of reach when
you pull up a chair to where we used to be,
because our used-to-be's aren't relevant anymore,
we're a used-to-be dinosaur
wanting not having, faking the signs
of what we ought to be;
we're watching separate moons retaliate
accordingly,
humiliation in overtime.
Who's to say who's to blame
when we're fighting each other off
waiting for the epiphany,
naked boundaries crossed.
I don't know what to say
you're keeping my tongue occupied
your body tastes like glue
tastes like you
and a little taste is all it takes...
I forget the world around you.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say,
ain't it funny how
I don't know what to say anymore.
Set the tone with your monotone laugh;
I don't know what to say anymore.
All the lights just fade to black.
Leave us in the dark every night.
Now part the seas,
now pray the dead will stay that way.
I remain unconvinced that you
could ever really see me.
Now curl those toes.
Tonight is all we have left,
I'm parting tides, can you see?
I forget the world exists around you.
