Verse by @jonah.reyes

by @jonah.reyes

nothing holy ever asked for my name the radio only plays the parts i remember the lemon tree outlived the marriage we were young and the light was cheap

the cold got into the bones of the house summer left its fingerprints on the glass every train sounds like leaving from here the floorboards keep the score

i still set the table for the ghost of us you left your jacket on the chair like a promise nothing holy ever asked for my name we made a home out of almost

i keep the porch light on for nobody we sang until the neighbors forgave us the mirror learned my face by accident summer left its fingerprints on the glass

i am not sorry for the way i loved out loud
