SPRINGTIME&FRIED CHICKEN
Jaz
Something about the winds blowing
made me think of you tonight
It reminded me of your scent
But the winds were calm in their flow
and brought me back to the place
When we were perfect like
hot cocoa on a winters morning
When there was no loudness between us
and no pain in our stance
back when our funerals
weren’t being planned
back when we were new&just born
and everything was a wonder
This night took me back to when
we could stare in each others’ eyes for hours
without the truth of betrayal looking back at us
This night brought me to a time
before we stayed together too long
and made a mockery of everything we once were
before we wore out our welcome with love
Before every emotion came out as rage
This brought me to a time
when we knew we would walk in
this world always together
Before lies festered and choked
A time before there was no one
else in existence but us
Something 'bout the winds blowing
made me think of you tonight
It reminded me of your scent
Springtime and Fried Chicken.
