She said, “It’ll be a while before I find a reason to come back.”
I looked at her like she was gone, only familiar with her past
And I wondered who she spoke to today
But that’s none of my business anyway
I kept the secrets of a child who was terrified of being alone
She cleaned the mirrors in her room till the day that she was grown
And it seemed her memory failed her all night long
Or maybe wasn’t sure where I belonged
I couldn’t stare for long cause the rust was in her eyes
I gazed at my neglect and revisited my lies
And her new laugh crawled underneath my skin
But as long as she was smiling once again
The wild garden took back all the Earth
Overripe but aware of all its worth
And her hair was much shorter today
But that’s none of my business anyway
