12.Kiss You Goodnight
I dont care to know, the time on the wall.
The placement of my shoes, on the wood floor.
The last boat has left. Cant carry you afloat.
I fear the empty, wet bed. The empty grey coat.
And I wont go till youre asleep.
You open your mouth, like an asthma attack, you repeat,
If all that you take from this is courage, then Ive no regrets.
I wanted to kiss you goodnight.
No longer can pretend, it wont cave in and will be alright.
I wanted to save this last light.
With dawn comes certainty of what well be, for now hold me
lightly.
I look to the floor. Your hair like cut grass.
Your vomit it forms, a gold chain round your neck.
I wont wake you up. No need for last words.
These last idle hours. More than I deserve.
You take from this is, courage than Ive no regrets.
I wanted to kiss you goodnight.
No longer can pretend, it wont cave in and will be alright.
I wanted to save this last light.
With dawn comes certainty of what well be, for now hold me
lightly.
Dont settle for less again.
Youve become more than I could have become for you.
Could have inspired to be.
Hesitation will leave dents on the walls and the rail.
And your scent will leave me with more faith in myself.
I wanted to kiss you goodnight.
No longer can pretend. It wont cave in and will be alright.
Wanted to tell you I lied.
I said Id make it through this world alright, but I dont care to
try.
I'd make it through this world alright, but I dont care to try.
