How they care

We're eating lunch

and someone says your name

and he asks

how is she anyway?

 

There's an orchestra in my heart

that's playing just for you

and playing happy now

because they care.

 

They don't care like I do

maybe

they don't study you

when you're not looking

and ask you how your weekend was

but they think about you too.

 

I think about you too.

 

He thinks about you too.

 

We care.

  • Faded peace

    The red truck blue truck cap

    Bright blue, not pretty

    Like dancing eyes no

    This is down to business blue eyes hardened

    After too many people said no

    After too many yesses didn’t work out

  • She Used To Come

    It was like your second cousin,

    the one who stopped coming

    to Thanksgiving

    most of the time

    but shows up sometimes

    and you remember a picture

    of her holding baby you

    with blond curls and energy always
