semantics
the train station pieta he rests his chin on her head
while she crumbles smile gentle as a moon sliver
the night sticks they wander home / wanting home
how lucky to want to go home after everything
they wear red / blue / Burberry over prism black
say it’s in honour of Tom say it with their heart
I miss you I curdle inside I reach out to you
wish you were here to burden the sickness instead
point out the view say oh, look, and you mean
isn’t that beautiful! I want you to see it. You deserve it
