You said, “… someday, it’s always something,
Oh I think that I’m meant for better things.”
I didn’t know there were better things.
I sank in the doorway
to the bed I left unmade,
so afraid that I made you walk away
But I could never make you do anything
And you could never convince me that you’re okay
Did you shut down?
Did you let it out?
As you count your breaths out loud.
Or did you disavow here and now
About to break
“oh for heavens sake”
but heavens so far away
when you’re wide awake
and you’re chest starts to ache
You know I could never ease the pain
I could never make you do anything
You don’t talk with your sister anymore
You said speaking up’s not your only chore
You said your love was an open door
Now i believe you, crashing to the floor
Shift your weight,
turn the page,
leave me to keep your place -
you’re out looking for better things -
I never knew there were better things
Oh I could see it in your eyes
you’re not sleeping here tonight
Tell me I’ll be alright
Tell me
