may

i came to wait 

we were three weeks into may and still the flowers wouldn't come 

and we just watched the rain for hours different houses different loves 

going the same direction the direction wasn't up 

powerless and heavy underneath the morning doves 

swallowing their songs 

 

and summer wouldn't come because the earth abandon us

when she called and couldn't wake the children that she loved 

we didn't care

 

apathy's a gateway drug 

so the people that aren't people can still sing their careless songs and the boys that will be boys can try to right what they made wrong 

they never can

 

there's more than this i see it i just don't know how to feel it 

and if hell was never real whats the burden i can feel in my stomach
