Verse by @lux.trebble

we drank the cheap thing and called it a feast i saved the last cigarette for a braver night the dog still waits by the door at six we made a home out of almost

i am the last one at the party fixing the lights you were a rumor i believed twice there is a version of us that stayed the floorboards keep the score

summer left its fingerprints on the glass the sea does not remember any of our names i keep the receipts of everything i felt the river takes what it is offered

i put my grief in a drawer with the batteries i still set the table for the ghost of us we are all somebody else's weather the church bell is just a bell on tuesdays

there is a version of us that stayed we sang until the neighbors forgave us
