Homewrecker

You're still a homewrecker

because it was home to me

Without this shelter I've been struggling to eat

I still walk past the deck in the back where I'd sleep

Wake up at midnight your head rested up next to me

Just like

We sat on a porch-swing balanced on strings

next to

a house with a door painted bright oak leaf green

With the fall the hues fade to hazlenut ash

I wish I'd known what I lacked

I wish I'd known what I had

In my head we we're worth it

The silence felt perfect

I hope you envision the life you took away from me

When she'll look you in the eyes

to kiss you goodnight

and fall asleep

I hope you're happy

I hope you're both happy

I don't mean that sarcastically
