Suppose You Grow (2020)

Open Floor Plan

When you were drunk
you taught me all the things
you held behind your tongue,
and I’d entertain the invitation if I had the heart.
Would you say that love is just
a thing you do and then you don’t, my friend?

I was just fine until you told me that you don’t.
I’ve not the words to change your mind, and you won’t.

What if I told you I made coffee
in your favorite cup, bitter the way you like,
and I lose my step and paint the hardwood floor with oily glass?
Would you say that love is just
a thing you do before you fall, my friend?

I was just fine until you told me that you don’t.
I’ve not the words to change your mind, and you won’t.

I was on the wait list.
I need you to hear me out.

And I was just fine until you told me
I’ve not the words to change your mind.

So now you’re an old man.
Raise the rent, buy the fence,
and you’re carving exits out of an open floor plan.

I don’t understand this.
I don’t mean to figure this out.
