Dinner with aubrey

Girlband


stuck in last place, unfortunate unfair 
there's a high point, fallen short in midair 

is this what i am here for 
no way to stop the sadness 
just here to make the happy 
i'm deaf to my own calling 

beating hearts race, silencing and scared 
pain enslaves me, no better way to care 

shoeboxes emptied, and pictures torn and old gifts burned and destroyed. 
numbers of old friend are crossed out and erased from memory. 
off to a new place with laces tied and lunchbag filled with dreams 

it seems like we're through, its sunset in the west 
train tracks collide, horizon cuts the sky
