You know you don't have to say a word but you do,
And that’s so like you.
Your eyes read like a book,
Your tongue cuts like a knife,
And your face tells me every word.

You weave tapestries of inaccuracies,
But leaving you with open arms was hard enough,
Without the words left in the air.
Frozen was my watch face,
Frozen with the time that we last spoke.
10:53 it ends.

They say all the storms will pass,
But as the temperature drops our skin turns to glass.
And shatters.

The common has become commonplace,
For us to sit and watch the traffic pass.
Bringing up middle school memories.
And I’ve never seen your eyes so tired, with a sunken face.
I know what you’re hiding I know that you’re angry.
Have I failed you or have you failed yourself?
Have I failed you, or have I failed myself?

Long night alone I listen to City and Colour,
Hoping you do the same.
This winter has dragged on for far too long,
And I’m waiting for summer to come and warm these bones.
Warm these bones.

Leaving you with open arms was hard enough,
Without the words left in the air.
Frozen was my watch face,
10:53 it ends.
