Splitting In Half

Today I spent face down 
in a pillow
for it smelled like you 
Yesterday I spent heart torn 
in a chair
Facing the backyard 
where I found out the truth

I’ve saved my money 
nickel and dime
I’ve saved my heart 
time after time 
for you 

Rainy Days and winter nights
I listen to Nick Drake 
Lamenting over his inner voice
and asking about mine 
All I can do is answer back
by throwing a plate 
just to see it crack
