1109 - Hail the Sun

I lived in a house whose porch collected cigarettes

And every one I’d smoke held conversations

From the night before

We all connected, lovers invested here

Now we’re all gone!

But still…

I drive by it for no reason

But can’t tell how it makes me feel

Did I not savor it?

Memory reel

Is it all accurate?

In that house on the corner

There’s part of me stuck in the dry wall

We’re all connected, lovers invested here

No one would think of where we’d all end up years from then

To old friends

And those I’ve loved and lost:

I still think of you

I remember what I’ve learned

Hazy nights

Seen through a twisted plight

Did I do it right?

Did I do it right?

Two years of mine

I’ll flash back 96 months

In a dream I had this last week

We’re disconnected

Drug-filled bedrooms plagued part of that home

Tear-eyed partners' remnants haunt the halls

Now we’re gone

I drive by but I can’t tell how it makes me feel

Did I not savor it?

Memory reel.

Would I still treasure it?

But I do

Here in the dry wall
