Closing these eyes in those
Days when you stayed close,
How many nights did I devote
To you? How many hours?
Time stood still,
Love was the thrill,
Better than the pills
I had to take to keep
You close,
Could it have been
Beter in that orange
County weather,
Is this town fake and
Lovely, or do I just want
Your body?
Gave up some wasted
Space,
Learned how to talk to
You in person,
But I couldn’t look
At you, I couldn’t
Really love you.
Stood in the rain,
Prayed in the plain,
Fancy words couldn’t
Save me cause this is
A disorder and no one
Has the cure.
I was never sure,
Never settled,
Never really certain,
You would pull back
The curtain,
Is this a stage,
Are you a sage,
Can you burn the
Letters in this heart,
This lonely pain is
Getting to me,
I close my eyes and I
Still see you,
Standing in the rain,
And nothing has ever
Been the same.
