What Else Do You Need?

An exploration into lost poetry and future songwriting. hearts.

You wear respect like a suit of armor

your kindness like moon boots

but you’re floating away

and I wish you would stay

you can’t find me

my arms are weak

and they’re shaking

untethered, but held to the ground

this dry and barren ground

GRAVITY

I dreamed you came running

I’d lost what you found

you always say goodbye

I was well through my coffee

before drinking in reality

left the smile on my pillow

too kind, too curious, too careful, too open to you

you poured the cup

I drank it up

sipping sadness

seeking gladness

scrapping my nest

sinking madness

I toss it all

you let it fall

still standing

ALONE

take a step

open the door

close it again

I’m not here

I’m orbiting the moon

admiring the holes in the surface

what’s underneath?

Put on your jacket

lace your shoes

can’t wait for you

When you come back

i might not be here

i’ve already packed

boots

books

and beer
