what if tonight
you don't talk about you
and i won't talk about me
you won't toss around things
that matter like they don't
and i won't feel like i
should point out they do
what if tonight
you were my friend
and i were brave
you didn't distract
from my pain and aches
and neither of us consider it
a silly tragedy
a story happening to other people
a trivial something
to be bandy about
at parties
as if it were
sparkling conversation
between sparkling people
what if tonight
i just finally cry
and you created a space
to let me?
you don't talk about you
and i won't talk about me
you won't toss around things
that matter like they don't
and i won't feel like i
should point out they do
what if tonight
you were my friend
and i were brave
you didn't distract
from my pain and aches
and neither of us consider it
a silly tragedy
a story happening to other people
a trivial something
to be bandy about
at parties
as if it were
sparkling conversation
between sparkling people
what if tonight
i just finally cry
and you created a space
to let me?
