Angel Face

You’re stuck in your head space,

speeding on the highway.

I’m anxious and quiet,

staring at your ceiling.

We come together,

but the pieces ricochet.

Keep it that way,

keep it that way,

keep it that way.

I cherish and crave,

carry the weight of your angel face

looking at me through my memories.

You taught me how to be gentle.

Separate the good feelings from the bad ones

of not ending up together.

You’re the only one who can see me for who I am.

Keep it that way,

keep it that way,

keep it that way.

I miss the time when we were reading books on your bed.

You miss a time when you were happy.

Your anxiety can come over

and hold hands with mine.

I miss your brown eyes.

I hold on to the way no one will ever know me like you do.

On replay over and over in my head,

we’re smiling because my necklace is getting caught in your mouth,

so you tuck it aside and pull me in.
