I moved out of the annex and in with a man
Kept coming back just to see you
Maybe already searching
And anxiously lonely
Lucky he wanted you too
The dark in your softness
The cloud in your gaze
Haunting before we began
There was always a pain in the curve of your smile
Invited, I floated right in
And the smell
The smell of your neck in their old room
And I'm deep under water
Not caring I'm drowning
Want to see you every day
Back at home
He wants answers, a sense of control
But I'm back at the old place
Embracing you wholly
And hoping I'll know what to do
Oh I cared and I loved you through rose-covered eyes
And didn't consider red flags
Just the taste of your thigh
The nape of your neck
Your curls, and the clutch of your hand
Then you trapped me, or tried
And to my own dismay, and to yours
Life just isn't that fair
I'm surviving without you
And wonder about you with spite
And a smite of despair
And your smell
The smell of your neck in their old room
And you ripe like the blossoms
Unfolding around me
Unscathed by the hate in your voice
And the creeping sensation of silent goodbye
Last time you laid in my arms
How you blossomed around me then
Clutched back your hand
Never to hold on again.
