It’s Dark Tonight

I’m sure it’s another meal

Like any other

The meat all nice and tender

You’ve even included sides

I guess I’ll sip on this brown sugar

Listen to you talk about how you want to leave

I almost believed you

But what do I know?

I wasn’t expecting you to be already dressed

You been touched by an artist

Witnesses have paid their fair share of worship

I’m going to tell you a truth and a lie

I’m happy for you

I watched you head on to your future while I held on to your past

I don’t know what’s hurting me more

the fact that the meal was delicious or this the last time

I wiped my mouth out with the napkins you left

And placed my silverware down

I guess this is goodnight

That hesitation step you took made me believe that I was right at the Sun

May the Moon guild you back home

I’m sorry

The door slammed and I’m left with the dishes

10 candles surround the kitchen to the dinning but all I see is shadows
