We were daydreamers on the run she said
A night of fun in an unfamiliar bed
We stood our backs turned to the wind
We reeked of late nights filled with sin
And every dollar that came our way
We passed along through words we say
And there really was no sense in following up
Of lighting a cigarette or saying enough
But that’s the way of the world she would say
You drown all your senses in the everyday
The mundanity changes becomes a different story
She said she was full of an unholy glory
Come slowly and quickly and don’t ask me questions
The answers will move you will break your conventions
But I promise you darling one day I’ll confess
I’ll walk down your aisle in a little white dress
And ill marry the silence that brought me right here
And I’ll cry and pretend I haven’t lived all these years
That those things never happened and they all fade away
Sit down with me darling I might start to pray
In the light of the windows through the cracks in the floor
We wait for the bell to ring
We wait for something more
But the truth of the matter is the sun cant shine through
Boarded up windows from a room with no view

I absolutely adore this. What a powerful poem. “Come slowly and quickly and don’t ask me questions
The answers will move you will break your conventions.” I am very interested in what’s behind this piece. Of course, I’m not entitled to any explanation whatsoever, and this poem might not even be about you. But damn, it’s beautiful and I had to read it twice. Great work!
Thanks so much! It’s based on many separate events, some mine and some not that came together one day. So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
