Poem

This was going to be a song with a chorus, but I like it better as just spoken word.

A Relationship in Parts

Part 1

It’s the deepest part of winter
And it seems a lot like summer when he’s near
Cause he brings coffee in the rain
Feel the beat of the caffeine
Does it leave you breathless?
All alone before the freeze
In tiny little beads of snow
That drift and fill the angels down below.

Part 2

He spreads slick poison out his tongue
It tastes like the first time you had rum
But it’s not your last time
He’ll love you again
In shiny painted keys
Remembering all there was to give
In little notes and happy hopes
He’ll play on your fantasies

Part 3

He slithers in the background
Seeking out things for him alone
And he yells across the room
“We’re never quite alone!”
And that’s the problem you have too
With his tired eyes and looser chords
He’s not playing anything for you anymore.
