Weathered -

I was afraid

Afraid of the storm

Afraid of the tumble, and the fall and the weight

Of the world

The world on my own;

The world when you left me

Distressed & upset we decided to go

I will be the shelter in the night

The sunlight in the morning

But what about this

Constant sense of emptiness

And God why am I thinking

Of only you?

I swear you’re the same

As you were all those years ago

Just a little more plain

Just a little more weathered

But just a little bit better, you say

Just a little more weathered

But you swear that you’re better these days

And I remember you sayin'

I will be the shelter in the night

And your sunlight in the morning

But what about this constant sense of loneliness inside my head

And why are my friends warning me?

And what about the little scars and broken parts

And hurricanes and tidal waves and oh

What about the little things that no-one knew

The polaroids and stick & poke tattoos?

God I only think of you
