In the glow of strong cider

We were telling stories of our futures together

Under the rain of a new season

When she turned to me and said

'We don’t know if you'll be here next year'

I had stitched the skin too tight around the bones

Leaving no space in between when

Rushing to close the gaps of pain

And I realised I couldn't hold all of me

Leaving them to repair my seams when I ripped apart

In the dark the streets were flooding
