In the process

Curled like a kitten,
given up on giving up
all of your useless used up lives
holding on to hopeless
oops ther's love and meaning you could find
if the words just come out right
if the wirds just came out right
maybe you'd smile
and your sad
rocket shaped eys
always aiming somewhere
empty and away up in the sky
towards a vacuum where aconversations always kept inside for when its not okay to hide
for when its not okay to hide
and you have to smile
we were alone you let the tears out
you'd been saving them for me
to solve like crosswords
with a pencil because i do make some mistakes.
remember how i tried to fill myslef
with ideas you'd hold dear
and in the process left behind
a part of me that kept ypu here
that kept you here
sleeping in the kitchen
at the table
with the papere
as a pillow
all the bad news sinks right in
justn like the black ink
leaving headlines on your skin
and dreams of losing all your friends
how you'd stop missing all of them
after a while
we were alone you let the tears out
you'd been saving them for me
to solve like crosswords
with a pencil because i do make some mistakes.
remember how i tried to fill myslef
with ideas you'd hold dear
and in the process left behind
a part of me that kept ypu here
and its just one more minor tragedy
you'll add it to your smile
and in the process it becomes
a part of me you lefty behind
you left behind
the part of me you left behind (3x)
