Would-Be Anniversaries - Squint, Ed Stasium

I turn the lights on

i feel the heat upon my skin

i look to you i see

you haven’t been sleeping through the night

but this is my fault

i keep you up at night with grief

lying in our bedroom

eyes open staring up about

another would-be anniversary

come and gone

i know that i’m in love, but i’m feeling much better now

i can’t remember

exactly what was said

or exactly what she looked like

as she walked out of my life

maybe her hair was down

or in a pony tail swing around

high heels and a fancy dress

ripped jeans and the perfume i liked the best

Pale stars are shining

not enough to make your features out

tear stained worries

wonder what that you did wrong

but you don’t know what today is

and how can i explain it

another day, another time

another song, another rhyme

this day meant something

this day meant something to me

this day meant something

when i was with someone else

another would-be anniversary

come and gone.
