Suffering The Blind by Thailan When

What We Wanted To Say

She grows
and grows
and grows
from the drink of tough love
throws it all back up
when she’s had enough

but it used to be
we needed to see
to believe

walking around twilight
like wide-eyed
homesick children
talking about fireflies
from Bedstuy
to Bushwick
Brooklyn

burning so bright
they were gone
so quickly
before my eyes
night became dawn
and time hits me
so quickly

we went on to go the lengths
all the skies turning red
never got a chance to think
what we wanted to say

here I am again
with you by my side
come on let’s go
one more ride
