I Think I See You

I saw you start to get older as you jokingly glared at me. I felt the weather get colder in the depth of a stirring sea. I saw what your mother's mother saw in the 70's. I am a giant spruce, seeing growth in a baby tree. I felt the wrinkles emerge for a moment. I have always imagined it, now I know it

Leather bibles hit me in the back of my head and I topple into endless canyons. I'm dreaming. I think I'm dreaming. And, I won't remember all my friends when I get older, towards the end. Let's duck away and run and hide, behind the dumpster where you cried. And, we'll get older. Everyone will see us drop dead, one by one. The neighborhood will disregard the presence of the wild card. I see you. I think I see you when you get old

I saw you start to get older as you sadly explained to me, you were off of your medicine for your anxiety. I saw the wrinkles emerge and it got weird. I saw you standing alone, in the dark, with your worst fears

Leather bibles hit me in the back of my head and I topple into endless canyons. I'm dreaming. I think I'm dreaming. And, I won't remember all my friends when I get older, towards the end.
