Lists
In my lonely rooms
A song on the radio
Reminds me of you
And how the silence grew
The pain is beyond me
As it stares from all corners
Of where I am today
It won't be long
And I'll put it aside
Like I did with alcohol
The memory of you
Came on strong today
Brought on by music
I won't stop listening
Just that tune less and less
To the time when I won't hear
My present to me also came
After realization I'm not included
I knew it in depth
Then that view of a list
How it all goes
Quickly or painfully slow
Every day I review
All your faces and
How I hurt my list
I'm awake
In these lonely rooms
As I deal with the wreckage
Of halcyon days
I float here like the bird
That charms the waves
Into calm
All these waves will soon
Be still
Nothing will be said
Nothing will matter
Exactly what I created
With my nest
On a rocking ocean
A list full of wrongs
Like notes that return
At the first musical measures
