sad songs

if all it took was another note

echoing back to me

maybe sad songs

really do make me cry

a small window seeing everything except itself

before closing at a second glance

if i had another chance to say goodbye

i wouldn't

i wouldn't

rainy eyes face unearthly defeat

as a full moon repeats its arrival

baiting me to the all consuming

and asking who will bite

if you had another chance

to check if i was all right

you wouldn't

i know you wouldn't

again with your magnetic blues

ringing in my ears, and to you so antique

i can't blame you

if you don't hear sad songs the way i do

even though

i'm the one

singing them to you
