Seven Days from Sycamore by Jacob Earl

I could cleanly sever
After seven days
But it felt like forever
In a thousand small ways

On the last day we spent together
Your attitude was aloof
You pretended it was never
But your pulse was pounding proof

Only a week went by
Tangled up in the heat
It's never enough to answer why
I ended it so neat

I could cleanly sever
After seven days
But it felt like forever
In a thousand small ways

So I picked myself up
Brushed off the shame
Enough is enough
Everything was the same

I could spend each day of the week crying
Crying crying
Or thinking about death

I could always think I'm dying
Dying dying
Well that's not wrong
But what about the rest

I could cleanly sever
After seven days
But it felt like forever
In a thousand small ways

And that's the last we touched
Though we still keep in touch
There wasn't much a fuss
There wasn't much of much

I could cleanly sever
After seven days
But it felt like forever
In a thousand small ways

On the last day we spent together
You wouldn't look me in the eye
Your sullen attitude
Made me wanna cry
