I stopped checking the clock
It was useless to count, the minutes everlasting
I rathered the time pass like the steady motion of waves crashing
Rather than a knock every night on my backdoor where no one stood,
I let the time simply slip out into the street.
Back to the highways and gravel access roads, you hid
Where you didn’t have to see me anymore.
You stuffed the past in an old tent bag and dropped it from Devil’s Cliff Face.
You don’t fool me, the sun rises blue for you these days.
Azure frustration carved into hollow-souled trees, I understand
Please know that I understand.
Put out the fire, stop the ashes from spreading
Meet me in town where we used to take late night walks
Let’s sign a treaty of battle rules, Lets clear the dead so the cannons can rock once more
I don’t ask for your surrender, God Knows I need a reason to leave this town too.
