Verse by @shiloh.pike

my hands still know your kitchen the calendar keeps making promises the sky was the color of an unopened letter the cold got into the bones of the house

we sang until the neighbors forgave us the field went gold then went to sleep the dog still waits by the door at six the highway hums the way you used to

the radio only plays the parts i remember you were a rumor i believed twice the dog still waits by the door at six we made a home out of almost

winter came in through the window we never fixed winter came in through the window we never fixed winter came in through the window we never fixed the mirror learned my face by accident

the birds do not know we broke up you were a rumor i believed twice i saved the last cigarette for a braver night
