Sweet Time

Sweet time
Your eyes
Duller than the worst nights
The titles longer than the poem

Sweet time
You find
Beauty in the worst things
Hellfire and people made of stone

Sweet time
You sigh
Tell me it's not all bad
You're right, but I won't let you know

Sweet time
You'll fly
Blocking all the sunlight
I'd die if you left me in the cold

Bright flash
Quicker than an avalanche
I call your name from across the world

Earthquakes
Stepping on tectonic plates
The porch light reminds you of home

Can't lie
Ive been feelin real tired
Lately, I know It's a cliché
Take it one day at a time

You promised
I'd know everybody
Staring from the hallway
Like I'm mounted to your wall

You said you've been fine since we last spoke
It must have been July or June
I didn't think you'd lie so soon
I heard what you've been saying about me

You run off to go see your friends
I don't want to talk to them
I just want to talk to you
Two small steps and I'm alone

Eyes low
Staring at the wooden floor
Watching your shoes go against the grain

Sky's black
Staring at the weather app
Don't think I can trust my eyes again

Can't lie
Ive been feelin real tired
Lately, I know It's a cliché
Take it one day at a time

You promised
I'd know everybody
Staring from the hallway
Like I'm mounted to your wall
