Here

It’s an old telegram 

Ink is smudged I’m not sure if there’s a stamp 

Your mouth 

Your mouth is poison

I’m not sure what happened between today 

And when we danced in the street . 

You once told me you loved me only yesterday I was the girl you dreamed of 

And today I lie here alone staring at the night sky on our old street where you promised to never say good bye. 

I say I love you 

But I don’t know you any more 

As I let you go 

As you said good bye . 

I couldn’t write the words if I wanted to 

I always thought I could 

About how you said 

You would never let me go 

As you pushed me out of sight 

Maybe 

Your mouth is poison . 

And I couldn’t write the story if I wanted to 

Remember the nights you couldn’t 

Fall asleep with out me . 

It’s an old telegram 

Written to a stranger 

As I lay here under the night sky 

Listening as the cars pass by 

Remember how you kissed me good night 

How did you leave me here 

To become a stranger 

Alone at our funeral . 

Maybe your mouth is poison 

Maybe I’ll always be here 

Right here 

Under the street lights 

Where you left me
