A List: Everything I Owe You
An apology
For all the times
That I lied
And a secret
For all the whispers
That made you cry
A kiss
For every girl
Who took your breath
And a wish
For all the ones
Who didn’t last
Copper,
A penny
For your thoughts
And ink,
A pen
So they don’t get lost
Some whisky
Some brandy
To deny your denial
The truth
Do you remember
The last time you smiled?
Darling,
My love
You’re soaked in deceit
A single rose
For you to hold
Until the thorns break free
Sunglasses
A mask
To disguise your sin
And a heart
My love
To fill your tin
I owe you
The world
But I’m bad at charades
I’m tired
And I’m losing
And I can’t play this game
Let’s play cards, Love
You’ll win
One last time
Because last
Is a note
For you, signed “goodbye”
