We wake up, together.
My make-up smudged, beneath my eyes.
The bird finally has something more to sing to.
Rather than the water bottles, scattered across my room.
And did ya know?
That I sleep with my rings on?
And did ya know?
That my eyes arn’t always green?
And did ya know?
That I am in love?
Do you even care?
We sit at the coffee shop.
You’re smokin’ as always.
I sip at my latte, my lip gloss stains the rim.
And in my mind, we are laughing.
And in my mind, we are dancing under the Eiffel Tower.
(Le Tour Eiffel)
And did ya know?
That under my pillow.
Fairies are dancing?
And did ya know?
That I can’t write in more than just one notebook?
And did ya kow?
That I kiss the necklace you gave me, goodnight?
Goodnight, goodnight.
Goodnight!
And when we touch.
My heart is a shooting star.
You smell like weed and my perfume.
From so much time spent smokin’ and in my room.
Light up another.
You’re almost there.
Light up another.
Now you’re messing my hair.
Did ya know?
That I can’t sleep in the dark?
And did ya know?
I prefer rain to the sun?
And did ya know?
I prefer coal to diamonds?
Because it’s all you can afford?
And you threw me out.
Like Yesterday’s Mountain dew.
But did you know?
That I will be here?
Even when she deserts you?
You’ll come running back.
Like nothing ever happened.
The idiot I am, I’ll be here.
To embrace you through the tears.
Both mine and yours.
And we lay down for bed.
I thought this would end happy.
But did ya know?
That I am alright?
As long as I can be here.
With you every night.
And even though you’re right there.
Asleep so soundly.
Try as I might.
I turn around to kiss my necklace.
Goodnight……
