William Fitzsimmons Goodnight
Last night we watched our favorite tv shows
you packed my lunch for wednesday's shift, i laid out
my clothes
i took my time to say goodnight before you closed your
eyes
the hallway light reveals how you were taking up my
side
that dress you wore is faded to the ivory that remains
the frame of wedding pictures looks ten years out of
date
the toaster's been replaced since we even thanked them
for the thought
the last time that we kissed, i saw you checking out
the clock
what about now she says to herself and what about now?
what about now she says to herself, she says to
herself.
the council of the wise can be the only way you go
(aunt gina cleansed)? in alcohol will somehow let us
know
your mom and dad were right to tell us maybe we should
wait
yet ten years down the road it seems maybe it's too
late
what about now she says to herself and what about now?
what about now she says to herself she says to herself
goodnight
goodnight
i wish you'd stay
i wish you'd stay
