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
