If My Life Is Mine
I miss you like yesterday
But I figure that you’re okay
I’ve gotten this habit
Of not meaning what I tend to say
I don’t bleed blue
For air feels me
Like disappointment
Often chooses you
I made you read my life’s line
Now you lead my life’s line
I made you live a life’s line
Now you give a life’s time
I can’t stand sitting
Alone at your table
I hate life because
Realistically it’s a fable
And too often it leans in your favor
I made you read my life’s line
Now you leave my life’s line
I made you live a life’s line
Now you give a life’s time
The moon if it’s rising
The tide is surprisingly
A matter of circumstance
I can’t stand you
Might I have this dance
With me you lived a life’s time
Now you lead a life’s line
I made you read my life’s line
Now you see my life’s fine
I let you see my life’s line
Now you leave my life mine
