Reaching for You

it’s all the things you ever knew
crushing me and killing you
again
i see things like they end
i used to play pretend
that I
can see it in your eyes
lying half the time
you’re everything I am
I’ll wait right here
under the branch
where we hung
our legs
from our knees
all summer
when we fell
it’s everything i ever felt
winning cards are never dealt to me
see me for the worst
i’d keep you if i could
it’s all you know
now on
all the things i’ve said
sound better in my
head
than out loud
all i think
is a curse
