Verse by @nell.paperback

i left the door unlocked for a season your laugh survives in the hallway winter came in through the window we never fixed your laugh survives in the hallway

we were young and the light was cheap you left your jacket on the chair like a promise the lemon tree outlived the marriage i wore your city like a borrowed coat

the kettle screams and i let it every train sounds like leaving from here you were a rumor i believed twice i keep the porch light on for nobody

your laugh survives in the hallway
