Tangled words on coffee sleeves
We used to laugh, now no one speaks
All the corners of the park
Echo something soft and dark
You'd hum it tonight,
didn't know
Whistling low then letting go Even now in quiet rooms
That
melody still gently blooms
Bitter mint on a colder tongue Still remember how we spun
Slow our bit, just out of reach
Tidal pool I couldn't teach you
Left one morning,
one sun done And all the clocks refused
to run
I carry silence like a song Lines we drew on window glass
Disappeared,
they couldn't last I would give the moon away
To hear the foolish
things you'd say The chair you pulled,
the smile you wore
A resting
ghost behind the door I thought I'd heal with passing time
But some regrets just slurred into line
Bitter mint on a colder tongue Still remember how we spun
Slow our bit,
just out of reach Tidal pool I couldn't teach you
If I could call you one more time I'd whisper back in perfect rhyme
