This time


Burn to heal

the dollar bill or 

this dried sage

I wish the choice was simple

Like the plans we made

When I was all the rage

Yet time keeps slipping away

Until every last day ends up words on a page

Only to be ripped out

like its currency I paid

three and four memories at a time

Not everything you feel can be summed up in a rhyme

Still she's a friend of mine

This time

And if I seem tired it's from running through her mind

This time
