​LIKE WE USED TO
​

how bout we lay down again
like we used to
in your bed
up on the second floor
of that tiny dollhouse
you lived in with milo

that tiny dollhouse that I loved
cause you lived in it

that same one
I was supposed to come back to
after all the ashes were scattered and put to rest
and all the tears were washed into the lake


how bout you and I lay down again
like we used to
and be at peace and so happy
like we never had been before

how we'd get so calm
and all wound up
like planets spinning forever orbits

how bout you and I lay down
like we used to
and breathe each other's breath
and feel that great respite
from inside our mouths
without the forces of gravity
weighing us down

that great respite
from all those words and voices
and supposed to bes
and gotta dos

why don't we lay down again
so I can feel like I've never felt before
again and again and again with you

and make the skies cry like that again
while we wrangle each other body and soul

making the thunder clap
the lightning rage
and the weather change
for us both--

but mostly  you

why'd we have to die like that
even though we loved each other
so much like that...

(like no other)

why'nt we just lay down like we used to, 
Sweetness, and kiss each other into oblivion...

    ...like we used to...
