I said I love you and I swear I still do
and it’s not just coz of the broken parts of you
that would drive you to the ridge
I thought of you on the Brooklyn bridge
as the ships passed in the night
and I took in every diamond light
of the city spread before me
I always thought you would adore me 
in the autumn of our days
but it’s like we’ve parted ways
and it was not amicably
you took the best of me
with you when you go
now I’m listening to punk rock on my own so
I can say you’re not really gone 
but it’s been so long
since I felt connected
to the tent you erected
in the middle of a field
when the breeze blows through and you yield
to all I might contain
I came down on you like a shower of rain
in the aftermath
now I just think of you when I take a bath
in the safety of alone
electronically away from my phone 
but you never fail to push through
the needle I’ve sown into the memory of you
