Soil

Another night on the sticky seats
You pushed away
But I was there for the whole thing trying
I wonder when you started to look past my gaze
I still see you with your head facing down
In the dead of the night I still say your name
Always fleeting
So push the blankets down
and turn the lights back off
Leave the door half-cracked
For the next one who will be so much more than you
Until that day comes
I will rest with those spent words
In the only place we can hide
On the edge of your tongue
And on your worn fingers
We wasted all of our time
But I have never thought twice
