curbdrop out of grace

a poem for a girl i used to know

love at first sight/nothing in hindsight

sitting by the window,
looking across white lawns,
thinking about the plans we made,
thinking how the dream is gone,
seems like two lives ago,
we had planned to leave this town,
but some things changed with time,
now i'm stuck here bumming around.

once we wanted to trade,
our blue hearts for blue skies,
maybe the next time i'll see you again,
will be in a better scene by the ocean.

we were so much less different,
six years when we first met,
we both lost god but found each other,
but whatever we had i now forget,
i used to believe you were the one,
despite how much you disagreed,
but now i know i was too young to know,
and you are so far from the girl of my dreams.

once we wanted to trade,
our blue hearts for blue skies,
maybe the next time i'll see you again,
will be in a better scene by the ocean.

i think of all that's happened,
between you and i,
i wonder if you're still confused,
i wonder how you stay alive,
i think of all that's happened,
between you and i,
i wonder if you're still smiling,
while you're dying on the inside.

once we wanted to trade,
our blue hearts for blue skies,
maybe the next time i'll see you again,
will be in a better scene by the ocean.
