An Anniversary Away

So we rose, too close, overexposed
The wide whites of eyes, we dried
To keep safe all the keepsakes that we hide

In and out
The feeling were on
Sleeves to harm the skin
We waste on lost wishes we cannot win

So you pinched rose, the parts that you hold
In swallen palms
The charms in blood warm a frozen bell’s alarm

On and then, the song rings wrong
The pleas for keys
I turn to hear you sing a false repriese

Calls, calls, echoes fall an anniversary away
Calls, calls, echoes fall an anniversary away
Calls, calls, echoes stall an anniversary away
And save all these hours that we wait

To start murmured hearts, and amplify the marks
From questions left to scar the patterns I depart
For beds better made, in a city to be named
By the one with the face, I tried to escape

Our lost wishes know we cannot chase
One, late calm, the song strings along
The pleas for keys
I turn to hear you sing a false repriese

Of errors made in shore
Sprints to safer shores
For arms I’m trying to lure
All the head I adore

To save sealed mouths
In letters I misspelled
What sides can only tell
“Take care”, if it helps

To start murmured hearts, and amplify the marks
From questions left to scar the patterns I depart
For bed better made, in a city to be named
By the one with the face, I tried to escape

I tried to escape
