elephant head

opening my eyes after 9 years
that's a long mo(u)rn
a decade can wreak havoc


the kind of madness that would have 
driven me to your door 

because home is the place they say
and you were

now, more than any other before
i need to make that trip 
but now there is no door
no long and winding road

but for the one you were dashed out on

just like nebraska; 
 only your collarbone didn't catch you

or like high school
 only i wasn't there to steady the bike

which i have to live with
the burden you willed me in your wake

but we all have crosses to bear.
well, you don't
left me as your cyrene


and i understand more and more why you left
it's come to be one of the only things i understand

but i don't forgive you.
