Floor

The night you asked me to hold your keys I felt like you wanted me to leave I looked up the sky was more than a dream I tried so hard to soak it in Take every breath with a clear head So much that I couldn't let myself forget You put on a movie and we watched Both mostly silent We barely talked We filled the space with quiet breath You fell asleep in innocence I felt all your loneliness I watched you sleep and felt comforted and I tried to sleep too I tried to sleep too But you made it look so easy Behind the house where I grew up Old cemetery bodies broken up I touched their names in the cold cement I made up lives they could've lived Recalled each tale with holiness Though they were made up on whim and I felt the quiet I tried to try it But my mind was always running crazy loud Could I sit on your floor again? I'll do much better if I can I was too small then to take up any space but I tried to show you I tried to show you That I was stronger
