not being able to sleep was a sign and then all the dreams of falling was another and anymore i can't afford not to read the map and follow the directions spelled out so clearly because the road's liable to run into a sandy wash all too easy to get stuck in or just end abruptly with no room to turn around because i'll never again be the last to leave (my goal these days and i'm stickin' to it) because i've had our discussions before too many times with others i've cared about and probably shouldn't have along paths that would have been far better traveled alone thank you for letting me go home and leaving you sleepy in your nightshirt locking the door behind me looking lost (but you'll be found someday by someone) and letting me say goodbye and returning to my hard-earned one-bedroom/one-bath/utilities extra emptiness across the river before the sun is even over the mountains yet making them look like a great wall that keeps this city somehow safe |
