Weathered

I was afraid
Afraid of the storm
Afraid of the tumble, and the fall and the weight
Of the world
The world on my own;
The world when you left me
Distressed & upset we decided to go
I will be the shelter in the night
The sunlight in the morning
But what about this
Constant sense of emptiness
And God why am I thinking
Of only you?
I swear you’re the same
As you were all those years ago
Just a little more plain
Just a little more weathered
But just a little bit better, you say
Just a little more weathered
But you swear that you’re better these days
And I remember you sayin'
I will be the shelter in the night
And your sunlight in the morning
But what about this constant sense of loneliness inside my head
And why are my friends warning me?
And what about the little scars and broken parts
And hurricanes and tidal waves and oh
What about the little things that no-one knew
The polaroids and stick & poke tattoos?
God I only think of you
