say square from california kickball by girlsnails

careless
telling time to no one else
watching from the shore
i don't know what for
scratching at the walls and biting nails
light creeping through
focus on you
screaming but the words fall out of reach

please go remind me why i'm here again
sunsets that held too long

loudly peaking through the glass
noises less endearing
shutting up and shutting down
labels lose their meaning
waking up to emptiness
missing conversations
silence is the hardest when talking doesn't mean a thing

please go remind me why i'm here again
sunsets that held too long
