Stranded Together

I'm breathing in the dust

that you left in my doorway

I kicked it up trying to organize

all my thoughts in disarray

all this time

to wait for things to change

it all seems temporary

a fleeting silence

that soon passes us by

now we're stranded together

I'm soaked through caught in your weather

all of our apartment windows

curating our fractured lives

falling up into the sky

catch me on the other side

when I stop staring at the ceiling

floating islands in your mind

sunlight fading just behind

the comforting fog that you're feeling

if we reach into our reflections

is it your hand on the other side of mine?

I wanna be outside

dying to pass the time

they keep saying we're lost causes

because we dream with open eyes

but I don't fill the space they want to

I don't want that kind of life

stranded together

I'm soaked through caught in your weather

all of our apartment windows

curating our fractured lives

all my thoughts in disarray

all this time

to make everything change
