the hometown

It'll only be a while you said

Until the clouds come home

we can't blame the weather our whole lives

making a cameo for the hometown

You can't blame your dad anymore

like waking up in a movie

drove to the soundtrack the radio made

all the way to the wake, never waking, hardly sleeping these days

I wanted to believe you

you wanted to love me

if that's good enough for now 

we don't have to speak for a while

Pulling the shades down again

I'm blind man today 

the blinds followed me around

talking to the walls

The day is ending for now

not that you or I know

a way we don't know

eventually finding a way out of this town

a place we can call our own

I wanted to see you again

you wanted to believe in the love you once did

but I should have told you

that it's never been the same

and looks to stay that way

as much as we wish it, nothing can happen the same way twice. There's not a word wasted in your poem, well done.
