Verse by @moth.lamp

you left your jacket on the chair like a promise the streetlamp buzzed like a held breath there is a version of us that stayed the moon is a coin i cannot spend

we were young and the light was cheap my mother taught me how to fold a grudge nothing holy ever asked for my name i left the door unlocked for a season

i wore your city like a borrowed coat the cold got into the bones of the house nothing holy ever asked for my name the highway hums the way you used to

the floorboards keep the score there is a version of us that stayed the bus came and i did not get on the kettle screams and i let it

your laugh survives in the hallway i am not sorry for the way i loved out loud the map was wrong but the walking was right your laugh survives in the hallway

summer left its fingerprints on the glass the tape hissed where your voice should be the calendar keeps making promises every train sounds like leaving from here
