The Silence from Amends by Aaron Schroeder

Wait
Was it the same?
Strawberry wine
I tried to waste
Darling we’re fools
What was the emblem in your ears?

You were a ghost
All that was wrong
Money and art
Fuck all those songs
I nearly sold myself

I took
A closer look
Left it alone
What wasn’t mine
Hardly to own
I love you in my way

Awake sometimes
You let me go
We wade’n in the water
We wade’n in the water

Wait
“Was” is the same
Missing s spark
I PLAYED A fool
Who didn’t collapse
Drunk and blacked out

You THREW IT AWAY
ALL THAT WE HAD
WHAT WASN’T MINE
HARDLY TO OWN
I love you in my way

Awake sometimes
You let me go
We wade’n in the water
We wade’n in the water
