To Get By Without You

Catch me thinking about

You

On the floor

Tracing lines on the carpet

Wandering mind

Catch me thinking about

Telling you stories

Open the book to chapter 7

Begin where we left off

Until you fall asleep

Catch me thinking about

Light

Refracting in your eyes

There has not been enough time or sun

To lean into

Catch me thinking about

How it’s been too long

I am growing cold

Until sheets of ice cover my soul

And they have to be smashed to get by
