20 june 2023 sometime in the evening
Nothing can capture this moment but a thought from the head
Funny how things go, around the clock to this bed
Couldn't these windows know I'd never get over
How much these sunsets make me feel older
The years behind me, the ones I can't remember
And the ones I can't forget
Will always mourn for more sunset years
Yet this room empties, and my heart carries more
Hoping to never forget the warmth these windows bore
Still hoping, wishing, wanting
Years down the line
Like 12 months couldn't repeat history this time
Funny how things go, a flip of a page
Reading on my back reminiscing my kernel-sweeping days
Looking and knowing, like a breeze oh so green
These birds chirping know these years evergreen
Never again to return to her or to them or to then
But to realize what's worth and who's with and when's wrong
Frustration's expiration never gone
Yet I'd regret wasting time on hating laws

gnny
Rooftop, stars, clouds collide
Windows that once were mine
Cold nose under traffic lights
What's a breath without a life?
For you I'm not sure I'd fight
Eyes closed you scream at the sky
Look in me for a reason why
These aren't the years of our lives
Wood floor, cardboard box lies
What if in a soul you confide?
Would I die with you in mind
Without the sky and stars combined?
I love our time
But this city's just not mine
You had me then
You could have me back right now
