Polaris by Molly Parden

Sitting backwards
In the backseat
In the darkness
Beside me
It's a late start
It's a long drive
You're a mountain
Counting headlights

The stillness
Thereness
My home
Polaris
You're a mountain
I'm confounded
Our holy days are wiped away
In your blizzard cold, the thread was frayed

I accidentally forgot everyone but you
Ah, the world was your shadow
When you walked in the room

There it is
In the parking lot
Is that your truck or is it not?
There I go:
Walking fast again
Talking past the pain
The time it takes...
The fairness
My home
Polaris
I don't need you
You don't want me
You're not even a friend to me
You let it die and I am free

I accidentally forgot everyone but you
Ah, the world was your shadow
When you walked in the room

I accidentally let my light begin to fade
Ah, the morning was your stage
You were my every day
