I Found Out

I found out you were
In a mess.
You got me cleaning up for you.
Lipstick stains on your
city dress.
The space I’ve got to find myself
is bending in half again.

Interesting…
How you watched the night,
As if I could see.
Facing the sky,
When I asked you why,
You looked straight through me.

Climbed the tower to your hide-away.
I caught you twisting words again,
Impractical things that I hear you say.
You caught me tripping on myself,
And it’s bending my mind again.

Interesting…
How you watch the night,
And all it could be.
Facing the sky,
When I asked you why,
You looked straight through me.

I got lucky and
Turned around.
The space left leaving me behind,
I slip up when I touch the ground.
The space I’ve got to find myself
Is bending in half again.

Interesting…
How you watched the night,
And looked right through me.
