My girl
came home to me
just the other day, acting ok.
I was reading alone
in my favourite room, the tv was on.
May I be excused
for not telling the truth.
?Cos she?s gone,
she said
she?s better off on her own.
She turned
her head much better off on her own.
My girl
knocked on the door
to the place I usually refer to as home.
I died,
shoelace untied
she looked in my eyes, small and surprised.
And God closed every gaze
the moon fell into the lake.
Boy,
she?s gone,
a drift
she?s better off on her own.
She closed,
then she left
much better off on her own.
Sitting naked by the windowsill
watching cars upon the hill.
Am I sleeping?
I was dreaming
for just a moment
time stood still.
Better off on her own,
better off on her own.
Now she?s gone,
she said
she?s better of on her own.
She turned
her head
much better off on her own.
She?s gone,
she sighed
she?s better of on her own.
The tears
I cried
much better off on her own.
My girl
came home to me
just the other day.
