Roadkill Poetry

When you get to know me writing roadkill poetry

For everything you've shown me is still everything I need

I will worship at your altar, I will suffer when I'm missed

Let 'em widen out the highway 'til that's all there ever is

Random raccoons' rabies

Pass the billboard, "save the babies"

Push the boulder, pushing daisies

Now I'm older, I was eighteen

If we never leave each other's sight we'll never age

I will be forever who I am to you inside your gaze

I'm the David in your holy light, I'm wholly unafraid

Only I am beautiful because you know my name

When you get to know me writing roadkill poetry

For everything you've shown me is still everything I need

Best believe I learned the hard way

If you found good love, don't lose it

Bodies touching in the hallway, that's what I call Country music

Midwest Autumn midnight

Called your name out from the bedside

Singing "oh, God" like the end times

Making love to make the enzymes

If we never leave each other's sight we'll never age

I will be forever who I am to you inside your gaze

I'm the David in your holy light, I'm wholly unafraid

Only I am beautiful because you know my name

If you called me

From somewhere that I'd never been

Would I falter?

And say, "when will I see you again?"

If we never leave each other's sight we'll never age

I will be forever who I am to you inside your gaze

I'm the David in your holy light, I'm wholly unafraid

Only I am beautiful because you know my name

Because you know my name

My name

Because you know my name
