tough ttimes

settled in

sleep talk

squeaks

you don't feel well
again today
i wish that i could make it go away
i don't feel well
but that's okay
cause i know i'm gonna see you anyway

so we get each other sick
but we lean right into it
because with you i can lie around and just exist

we've got time
we're glad to lose
because we found someone to hide with
someone to curl right up into
we've aligned
and you leave me proof
with every interaction
every smile on your face
with every small reaction
to the stupid things i say

you've been coughing
a whole new way
it's romantic
i'd like to say
another thing we share with each embrace

and we fill each other up
despite the mucus, phlegm, and dust
this sickness matters less and less with every touch

we've got time
we're glad to lose
because we found someone to hide with
someone to curl right up into
we've aligned
and you leave me proof
with every interaction
every smile on your face
with every small reaction
to the stupid things i say

everything i better when i do it with you

sick again

early in the pandemic, i participated in a little song-a-week challenge with a few other musicians. these are my favorite song i made.
