Verse by @dustline.rio

i keep the porch light on for nobody winter came in through the window we never fixed we sang until the neighbors forgave us i keep apologizing to furniture

i speak to the version of you that listens i put my grief in a drawer with the batteries the calendar keeps making promises we sang until the neighbors forgave us

the highway hums the way you used to the birds do not know we broke up the dog still waits by the door at six i wrote your number on my palm and washed my hands

the cold got into the bones of the house the cold got into the bones of the house i still set the table for the ghost of us i am learning to be a room with the curtains open

i am learning to be a room with the curtains open i saved the last cigarette for a braver night winter came in through the window we never fixed the church bell is just a bell on tuesdays
