salt stains from varicose by ness lake

salt stains at the bottom of your shoes
reflect your good intentions and the things you meant to do
when you'd walk through the slush and you'd walk through the snow
just because you wanted me to know
that you cared
probably more than me
and I guess that that is fine, i think i led you to believe
that you were overbearing and you care too much
i guess that show how much i know about

being in love


so ill crush a word between my teeth
to keep the thoughts from coming out
ever since you said you were going north
my thoughts have been heading south

everytime i digress i put myself in a place, and if i stay there too long:

I can't erase the words that you wrote across my wrist and my chest
that say that you're all i need, i don't care about the rest

I can't replace the hole inside of my ribcage, it is a symbol, a reminder of my heart and your spade

I can't remember your face, the colors the contours, the flush of your cheeks, the way that I slept and the grinding of teeth
