Verse by @isla.marren

you were a rumor i believed twice the sea does not remember any of our names i am learning to be a room with the curtains open every train sounds like leaving from here

i buried the argument in the yard i keep the receipts of everything i felt i buried the argument in the yard the birds do not know we broke up

winter came in through the window we never fixed i keep the porch light on for nobody i am not sorry for the way i loved out loud i left the door unlocked for a season

i keep the porch light on for nobody the streetlamp buzzed like a held breath i keep the receipts of everything i felt you left your jacket on the chair like a promise

i wrote your number on my palm and washed my hands i still set the table for the ghost of us you left your jacket on the chair like a promise winter came in through the window we never fixed

i saved the last cigarette for a braver night the highway hums the way you used to the sea does not remember any of our names winter came in through the window we never fixed
