11AM

That same day

I'm walking home, I'm all alone again

But somehow

I'm allowed to be

The storm in my head

Gone away

A certain tone, I've never known descends"So what now?"

That's what he said to me

There's an empty bed

Struggling to tell if I'm asleep or dead, like

With the ways ahead

The grown are ever fighting and the kids see red, like

Would have been there and then

But I don't want a prayer to be my last words said, like

So I'm here for them

The momentary solace when I call my friend, like

I watched the train float up from the track

The passengers, they stared at me as I made my way back

Met an old friend

A pain in his eyes had faded the smile from youth

Said to me"when it all ends""This hellscape was a better place with you"
