Lyrics
spring of ’13
blanketed in grey Chicago snow
concrete shoreline
you could see in me black water vast
I fell for your fire
it eats you from within
for all that we confessed in silenced texts
you were my friend
one year later
fluorescent beach in city’s reach
moonlight in late October
you said to me, “let’s get married”
you held my hand in June
I swore myself to you
I’ll try to get the story right
but I’ve told it to myself so many times
California,
seasons the same
grad school, car crash
lost yourself in shattered glass
you fell away from me
exhaled into a dream
you drank until your insides died
and I gazed upon a stranger
spring of ’16
that’s when we said “this is the end.”
