hoquiam

standing with my feet deep in the ground

was i nothing but a landslide in your mind?

am i no one until someone calls me out?

are you just pretending when we talk?

you should have seen me

keeping watch at dawn

picture now a car ride through the plains

where east meets west and only sky remains

were you faking death to only gain concern?

the cut out lights and signals told us wrong

you should have seen us

carefree behind the wheel

lover i am still here breaking chairs

will i ever be the hero in your song

or forever in your shadow so unseen?

trapped between the lines that you write down?

you should have told me

broken jaw and all

crippled in your glory

restless till my death
