i'll know you.
i'll never know anyone again.
ripped at the seams early on.
to let go.
to throw away all that i am.
i'm watching you walk and i'm stunned.
my legs weigh four thousand pounds.
i'm awake.
i saw you last night.
i can tell by your vacant expression.
and it hurts me to find what i've found.
but i know it might be a while.
until heaven and heartbeat collide.
those black shoes.
covered in guilt from last night.
you brushed it aside on a whim.
take one step forward.
and four more steps back.
you're gaining on losses.
but never quite catching it up from behind
