Threadbare |
On a crowded stretch of highway, we’re counting all the cars— |
The red ones vs the green ones, by the headlights, in the dark |
We pull into the driveway. |
I see fragments of my heart |
Through the warm glow of the windows, spilling light onto the lawn |
I’m so aware of your silhouette— |
The shape of your face and the shadow cast |
All the fingers hanging lifeless. |
Fists balled up in my gloves |
It’s another mild winter, but I still feel them going numb |
Jill smiles as I walk in. There’s a quiet sort of hum |
Finally home after a long year. |
The house radiating love |
I’m so aware of your bassinet— |
You’re half awake being carried in |
I’m feeling worn, feeling threadbare |
Like the sleeves of my sweater |
I watch the light grow thinner and disappear |
When I think of December, I always think of Mae |
And her house on Erdenheim where everyone I love felt safe |
I drive past it every Christmas. |
I’m gonna buy it some day |
And anyone who needs to could always stay |
I’m feeling worn, feeling threadbare |
Like the sleeves of my sweater |
And I watch the light grow thinner and disappear |
I’m feeling worn, feeling threadbare |
Like the sleeves of my sweater |
And the days only get longer from here |
