On a Tuesday

I saw you sitting by the bleachers
Lost in a world where everything is paper and ink and glue
On a Monday and you
Saw me drinking in lyrics by myself a few days after that
I first realised I liked you on a Friday
After you drove me home and we laid out in the rain
On the ground and it was warm but my arms raised with goosebumps
The grass hugged my shoulders and the moon kissed your face and everything was perfect
Our hands met on a Sunday
Strolling through the park 
Glissading past the geese and chortling with the doves
Our hips met on a Thurday
Homecoming sophmore year
Shellacked into dresses skin tight and drunk on shirley temples
Our lips met on a Tuesday

    It was just a fluke that I happened to see

    The ghost of a girl in 1893

    I didn't think much of her, tried to ignore

    But then she came 'round in 1894

    A spirit was not something that I had wanted

  • Papercuts

    Did you know that, when you wrote me, I was made of papercuts

    That I was ink and glue and wax but mostly, I was papercuts

    Did you know that, when you read me, I am made of memories
