The tiniest gap
In between
Your two front teeth
And your fake knees
Whistling through the pain
To accommodate
A kid who doesn't have
The time of day
And one who has to
Keep moving away
What can I say?
I'm purposely putting life in the way
Thank you for
Your gently worn
Shirts we
Slept with
Underneath our nose
I'm on a red eye crying about
A bunch of fucking clothes
How much time
Did I waste
On people who eventually left?
While you were always there waiting
With your coffee breath
With your shitty eyes
And your deep chest
And your cracked skin hands
That always held the best
You always knew the rest
You know the rest
I'm waiting for you to get better
Even if it means nights spent in the outpatient center
