open up on my dumbstruck mug
watching two red lights disappear down the road
fuckface growing dimmer
from the constantly receding glow
glad you couldn’t see me standing there
now i don’t see you anywhere
cut to: two weeks later
friends’ assurances, “that’s just how life goes”
montage of summer ‘16
you were drop-dead
too different people; you pristine, me wasted
& three years pass
we grow apart just as fast
careening down different paths
you’re my savior, i’m your sadsack
i kept saying “it’s just a roughpatch”
i kept saying “it’s just a roughpatch”
but a bottle’s not a fucking “roughpatch”
so we went back
to the place we fell in love
& you said that, you “never wanna see me again”
i respect that, but we drove here in your car
spent three hours in silence til the gaslight lit up
then i lit up too, exploded
so you left me there
in wyoming, rhode island
what a shitty place to say goodbye
i don’t wanna say goodbye yet!
it’s too early to put this to bed
& i can’t close my fucking eyelids
i’m never gonna leave this town
never gonna leave this-
