Three words
exchanged on the phone today.
First time in a while.
And there was no voice on the other end,
raspy from the cigarettes
I wish you wouldn't smoke,
but who am I to stop you?
The one in the background.
Why did I
allow this to drift away
across the lines of these states
and city scapes
dotted with colored lights
that neither of us want to like?
Oh, I don't make the trek up north
'cause I've never got the cash I'm wasting
flipping through photos
and memories of you,
the one in the background.
I'm taking my place
I've always known with us,
though you may disagree,
and as much as I hate to say it,
I want you to carry on
without me.
