Splitting In Half
Today I spent face down
in a pillow
for it smelled like you
Yesterday I spent heart torn
in a chair
Facing the backyard
where I found out the truth
I’ve saved my money
nickel and dime
I’ve saved my heart
time after time
for you
Rainy Days and winter nights
I listen to Nick Drake
Lamenting over his inner voice
and asking about mine
All I can do is answer back
by throwing a plate
just to see it crack
