Everyone but you sits in the room
talks about school
fights through the gloom
whistling, drumming
knees in the candle
burnt down where your face sat
one time in April
Everyone but you
a book torn in two
Tequila drips fingers
kiss lips you don't miss
I stare into the mirror and face my own fist
Everyone but you
counted stars that night
but not me, I slept
dreamt you took another flight
Everyone but you
a book torn in two
