All Things Ordinary

I’ve seen those eyes. I’ve watched them close at night. And you breathe in and you breathe out again. My sister’s coming over and I’m afraid to tell here the secrets that I know. Painting without colors, it tends to make it better, it bleaches out the world. Was it the end- the end that kept you p till the morning? Was it the boy- the boy who stole your heart? Summer goes on and then dies quick without much warning. All things ordinary. Will you stay near me now, don’t leave this town, until we’ve figured out, between the two of us we’re strong enough-I feel that in your touch. Full from the dinner but feeling somewhat thinner, aching in your chest. Kids behind the windows, they’re calling out the answers to questions never asked. I’ve seen those eyes. I’ve watched them close at night. And what queen comes in-always goes out again.
