Woman Loves To Write

She’s been fixating on
The appropriation
Of his character placement
She likes what she sees
He’s good but he’s mean
He takes what he wants
And he gives what he leaves
Well the woman loves to write
She lives with open eyes
And the men pour in like water
And they leave just as blind
She sees it in the mirror
Before the reflection settles in
Looking back at her’s a burden
Then a branding, then a skin
And she’ll sit by his side
Looking like the fragile kind
If he only knew, she’s got him fooled
He’s the moth and she’s the light
And she’ll keep it to herself
It’s her patience that she sells
She’ll sketch it out into her mind
Turning her man into a story line
She’ll sketch it out into her mind
Turning her man into a story line
Well the woman listens in
It’s her power and her sin
She’ll sit upright to greet midnight
While the boys fall out and in
When the whisky has been flowing
Talk is cheap but still worth knowing
Every slurred up word
Is caught and turned
Into the careful yearn of poem
And she likes how it sounds
To be lost amongst a crowd
In a whole mess of steps
But it’s the honest mans test
To come back around
And she can’t help the fact
That it’s lost men who love her back
Like a soul that needs saving
And the blank page that was made for it
She’ll forage for
The honest core
And leave the rest of him
Well the woman loves to write
She lives with open eyes
And the men pour in like water
And they leave

Meet me in the morning
I’ll have cleared my head by then
They say “it can be easy loving”
And I will pretend
Like I don’t take it home
I caught you in the sunrise
Is this childhood?
I’ve been complicated, and criticized
But growing up tangled is just as good
You don’t mean it when you say it
I don’t really need to hear it
I left my confidence at the coat check
So I’m coming in naked
And the way you swayed
In that strangers living room
Like the oceans just a myth
And you’re the one who pulls the moon
And the way you gave it
Like it’ll come back to you
Meet me in the corner
I have some tragic news
Life suffers us and blunders us
And all we have are roots
Another days gone to the dollar
Another artist to the wind
How do you keep your face in sunlight
With the shadows creeping in?
I went for a run
And I couldn’t stop running
Life was full of branches
And the birds were branch hopping
You keep your kitchen clean
But then you eat
And the routines keep us moving
I loved you like a lover
Before I knew what love was good for
And the way you swayed
In that strangers living room
Like holy’s just a game
And you don’t play to lose
And the way you gave it
Like it’ll come back to you
Talk to me when it feels right
Cuz I’m sick of being sore
I’m cutting myself free of a concrete life
And becoming the wild sort
So when we’re cramped at the party
And we can’t let the light in
There’s still space beneath
And there’s space at the ceiling
And the way you swayed
In that strangers living room
Like no one needs to know
And hurt is just a ghost
And the way you gave it
Like it’ll come back to you
And the way you gave it
Like it’ll come back to you
And the way you gave it
Like it’ll come back to you
