Torn Jeans

you've had those torn jeans on for days.
you keep humming that same song.
we never argue but they say it's bad if we get along.
on the phone you dry your eyes.
you know i can't explain regardless of the direction the earth turns we've got to walk the other way.
if you've got to say it i won't mind.
i can't justify your pain by saying it's just a matter of time. i got your letter in my box and i was almost ashamed to read it with a smile when i knew i ought to toss it away.
i never knew what horrible destruction could happen to this place.
it's all silent and defying in our heads, in this case.
