I lived in a house whose porch collected cigarettes
And every one I’d smoke held conversations from the night before
We all connected
Lovers invested
Here
Now we’re all gone!
But still…
I drive by it for no reason but can’t tell how it makes me feel
Did I not savor it?
Memory reel
Is it all accurate?
In that house on the corner
There’s part of me stuck in the dry wall
We’re all connected
Lovers invested here
No one would think of where we’d all end up years from then
To old friends and those I’ve loved and lost:
I still think of you
I remember what I’ve learned
Hazy nights seen through a twisted plight
Did I do it right?
Did I do it right?
1-1-0-9
Two years of mine
I’ll flash back 96 months in a dream I had this last week
We’re disconnected
Drug-filled bedrooms plagued part of that home
Tear-eyed partners’ remnants haunt the halls
Now we’re gone
I drive by but I can’t tell how it makes me feel
Did I not savor it?
Memory reel
Would I still treasure it?
But I do
Here in the dry wall
