HOPE/HUNGER

I’ve always been an acquired taste

Never knowing the time or the place

always taking the relationship out

when it’s half baked

Thinking a passing glance is worthy of my

grace

in his eyes

i saw a future,

my past held no weight

I wish i would’ve known this when

i was younger

I keep calling it hope

but it’s just hunger

i serve myself too early

[boneandhoney]

you used to tell me stories about this truck

how you someday wanted to fix it up

i always thought you were an optimist

when you had a plan

it was simple,

just follow it

i’d envy you and the light behind your eyes

how you felt about how we’d spend our lives

i ran but im still waiting for you

beside the open door

I just couldn’t believe

what you said was true.

[boneandhoney]

hope, half-asleep

spontaneous friend dates

you asked about the one meant to take my place

all those study sessions

only led to my feelings advancing

four, five, seven years slip away from me

still, the feeling hasn’t learned to leave

—for the version of me that waited

Nostalgia humming low
