Lovely by James Barrett

in between sleep and the caffeine
a fallen red leaf
but most are still bright green
you don’t know what I’d do
to get you back here
for just one moment or two
I’d just like to see you

it takes everything out of me to feel something
never complete
did I lose myself when we went away?
think I’ve been missing for twelve hundred days

I feel my body is starting to change
this weight I’ve carried getting harder with age
pins, needles down my arms and legs
I need repairs in my vertebrae

if you saw me now what would you say?
was the weather too warm?
was it just a phase?
when I came into your life
you said you were saved
“no more running from fear, no more running away.”
but you took everything out on me
made me someone like you who’s never complete
you know I lost myself when you went away
seattle’s lovely
hope to see it someday

(you know I lost myself when you went away
it doesn’t change anything
It would be so lovely to see you someday
in a weird world my love waits)
