New Year’s

day

is March

to me

always be

March

to me

dead …what was that

didn’t know

that

20 thought she knew

1+1 makes 2

and if you

cross the t

and dot the i

somehow

you’d dodge

that bullet

but down went

20

hit the cement

cold

body got up

as bodies do

but inside

got stuck

as insides do

stuck in the moment

‘cause you left me

hanging

on the line …

and i’m still

holding the phone

‘cause you said

you’d be home

and i’ve waited

for you

to come home

20 years

now

you know

i know

and when

i’d go

to your grave

and sit in

your blade

wasn’t to see you

you know

’cause i knew

you weren’t there

but the girl i knew

was

the me

i was

with you

will always

be

there

and i thought

about the ticket

and getting on

that plane

and going

to see her

today

but see

i have

her now

and she

needs me

you know

the way

i needed you

and she

loves her daddy

the way

i loved you …

love you

still
