"Curtains that cover only blank walls
A pool filling up with honey
A death and a birth
Two things that shouldn't be together
Red wine and ex-lovers
A microphone and a crying baby
A tree with paper nailed to it
Two things that shouldn't be together
Ocean tides and trash
A broken heart and sex
A tire swing and a wheelchair
What do you call it
when two people love each other
but can't make it work
Sunshine and and mother dying of melanoma skin cancer
River beds and the life vest of a boy who died in third grade
Good horderves at a funeral
Wedding bells and a 51% divorce statistic
Car windows and condensation
Quiet snow and freezing men on the streets
What do you call it
when two people love each other
but can't make it work
Stars we can see that burned out years ago
Faces we can see that burned out years ago
Love we can feel
that burned out
years ago
Alcohol and sadness
Bees and the bottom of a child's foot
Thorns on a bouquet of roses
A bridge and hopelessness
Beauty and pain
Love and hate
You and me
What do you call it
when two people love each other
but can't make it work?
Two things that shouldn't be together.
But,
There they are"
