Side of the Road

there’s a cigarette

dangling loose in my hand

there’s pain stitched into your skin

like a beautiful crying frankenstein

the side of the road has always felt like home

when you look at me

do you see the future or the past?

soon i’ll thrash myself awake

and i’ll wear your coat until the hem falls apart and the ground caves in

soon you’ll leave for someone else

it’s fine, i don’t think i’ll die

the side of the road has always felt like home

when you look at me

do you see the future or the past?

how could you hate me

when i’m me, and you’re you?

how could you love me

when i’m me, and you’re you, and she’s her?

the side of the road has always felt like home

when you look at me

do you see the future or the past?
