In Case You Didn't Notice
In case you were gone,
the puppet strings inside me
collapsed and hit the ground.
And you say I couldn’t ever
get you
but I don’t have to understand to be in
love.
In case you weren’t watching,
my tears were filling up the street.
And you say the water’s
beautiful
but there’s a difference between beautiful and
bittersweet
and right now the bitter is stronger.
In case it was just a blur for you,
that was the first time the nightmares subsided
and for a while I was sipping on clover
and blue printed paper
and your skin
instead of train tracks and brokenness
and everything about this memory.
In case you weren’t listening,
I stood by the cliff’s edge
and called your name again and again and again and again and
in case you didn’t notice,
I was falling apart at the seams for you.
