Streetlamp from Sulfur EP by Louvena the Scout

I wake up on another day that I’ll mess up everything.
Wrote lists all night of what not to do in the morning
but they fell in the spaces between my bed frame and mattress,
so I awake and get dressed and get into my car.

I try to sleep on another patch of unclean pavement.
I wait for the rain to wash over but it never comes.
I see heaven in the sun poking through the midnight clouds
but it’s just a streetlamp telling me to go home.

I break down the doorways that lead to old friends’ apartments.
I try to scream apologies but they don’t come out.
My eyelids fall and rise just to see that the whole time,
these places have been vacant
and I’m too late now.
I’m too late now.
