Someone I used to know way back when
It was awhile back, too long ago to take offense
she was something special there and then
we sinned and spelled out the rest of our lives
like naive spinners of brilliant spider-webs
silhouettes against the dusty ceiling rafters
erected and hanging firm against the worn walls
higher than our dreams and bodies could carry us away
swaying with the cold winter air through cracks
between the mortar and the bricks
that are only half of what they once were
and the cold climate sinks so deep into everything
inside our place
our place
and the distance is a testament to fools
we so crookedly thought the winter months would break us
so cautious, so lonely, double beds laid single
but we paid our toll for the weeks we spent apart
and somewhere
someone wished it all away
its okay, sometimes I loved her anyway
laughing, we were laughing
we were laughing, and Ill never forget the way you smiled
one step at a time
a game of cat and mouse, high divine
with the spring, our web bares its first fruit
sweet with tart like a juicy raspberry
she caught me calling out for absolution
and I was lost right then, in her
the elements started hacking at our peace of mind
one sinewy strand after another
and since forever never is
we were a seasonal affair
then and there
absolutely
