Lavender Blue

When the rain falls
I catch you
When the snow falls
Silent streets
I couldn't leave you but I didn't have to
Dissent and dysregulation bleed through
Sirens are fogging my second floor window
I'll fill up my walls with all that I don't know

Time kills all plans
Open and let me in

Rooftops and rafters and I'll never leave
Riverbank gazing and learning to breathe
Kiss you goodnight
It's all right
Cobwebs and door jams and stairways collapsing
Dusty footprints between concrete and moonbeams
Kiss you goodbye
It's all fine

When the birds call
I find you
When the leaves fall
I choke
Exact inexactness I'm breaking my back with
Eloquent basics and disagreed godsends
Sunflowers in wastebaskets behind your bed
Visions of could be love dance in my head

I will scorch my skin
Why can't you let me in

Rooftops and rafters and I'll never leave
Breathing your lavender cigarette dream
Kiss you goodnight
It's all right
Cobwebs and door jams and stairways collapsing
Maybe I'm just fine or running on batteries
Kiss you goodbye
I'm not fine

Pebbles and acorns and skipping stones
Drink me in I'll fill your bones
Stare at the sky feel your breath on my skin
I'm begging you why can't you just let me in

Rooftops and rafters and I'll never leave
Almonds to peanuts you made me believe
Kiss you goodnight
It's all right
Cobwebs and door jams and stairways collapsing
Maybe we're not ready for anything lasting
Kiss you goodbye
Nothings fine

When the ice thaws
I'm still here
Buried in peat moss and grown into burrows
Maybe it's poison oak, I'll learn to still grow
