Absence Makes the Day Go Longer - Cursive

Please hang my raincoat

I guess that I’ll stay a while

While I wait on the return

It seems the distance you’ve made

Has since lost its meaning

Meanwhile, I’ve meant to ration my thoughts

To help quicken this sloth driven day

As I wait, my joints slowly stiffen

They’re warning me that something is nearing

Disaster…

Disaster…

Hailstorm…

Memories like fireflies

A green hue of imagery

But much too random to see clearly

And I don’t recall much between you and me

Grey and cloudy

This tragedy plays itself over again in my mind

What’s my line

Where are the cue cards

Memorize my actions, my discourse

Like a discontented fool…

This just won’t do

It’s no use

These crushing days

Absence made your heart bruise

You’re all bruise

You’re all bruise
