Billion Bees
i found you grieving in the grasssky blood water color blueyou seem so simple sure and sadso I sat down to grieve with youyou raised your hand to shield your eyesi shifted left to block the sunyou crossed your legs and cleared your throati waited for you words to comebut they slept soundly in your chestthey never made it past your tongueso we sat silently and stillwe thought about the things wed doneand all the people that we lovedand all the people that we wrongedi watched the years flash through your facelocked my anger in your lungsso every breath stung more and morea wave of wips across my spinea billion bees trapped in my chestnails on chalkboard every timetil i watched your fingers sneak towards minei heard your breath go thing and shorti tucked your hair behind your earsand watched your eyes dart back and forthi sucked your lip and bit your neckthe trees were shaking at their rootsLetras de cancionesmy angry arms fell cool and calmmy cotton mouth was well with youso we lay glowing in the grassto watch the sun swamp with the moontrade our future for our pastpresent tense was all we knew From Letras Mania
