1027am

you sat wit me
in the rain
down the street from my house
and we drove 
through the hills off the road


its so hard for me remembering little things;
the record that played till the end and it sounded like rain 
till the arm retracted 
the blanket you knitted
when i told you keep safe
you said i know its a harsh way to ask
you in shadows from candles together you'll last

Eulogy pt II

if you say their words 
they might stick around you 
if you look ok you'll be often pictured, often mentioned 

ill always be slightly shorter than the others 
so wandering ill pass you staring at the pavement 

another night when the trees glow orange in the breeze 
and there's nobody up but me 
at night online while i whine 
by then my data's running low 
good thing nobody wants to know 

if you walk to me id try my best too seem awake 
cause i'm honestly way too young to feel this stagnant 

in bed at night 
as cars headlights wash through my bedroom 
i bet the city's nice 
as i read in depth on e-notalone 

another night when the trees glow orange in the breeze 
and there's nobody up but me 
at night online while i whine 
by then my data's running low 
good thing nobody wants to know
