GoodBye Desiree

Mourning this absence of you
this morning and the last
and the one before it
not so far in the past

My good friend and huggie
you've left off with the baby
and I'm not sure where to find you
in North Carolina maybe?

She's two months old you know
and she can't live this way
don't stay running, come back to me
but it's all I can do, to pray

I thought you would've come back now
maybe he'd have found you
but the melancholy and empty in you
didn't unhand you, it bound you

and I have a feeling I know
what you ran off to do
you didn't fit into the world anywhere
goodbye Desiree, I love you.
