Unimpressed

The light refracts in the freezing trace that follows as you walk away

Leaving behind the things you can’t forget

You take the time to make your parting memorable by its restraint

And hold the sudden cracking of regret

Here, and back,

With all the trash we’ve left out to rust and preserve as past

We, again, reach an end that always seems closer

And further again, just to keep us wondering

What went so wrong to leave you this unimpressed?

In little time, we cover up the traces of the tragic day

When we heard certain things were meant to be

And so they are, so we can skip the parts where we are not afraid

To feel it all slide out so easily

Now here we stand

With all the trash we’ve kept in our closets as history

Of the days that i could spend just catering to you

And fishing for things you’d never find funny

The effort it takes to leave you so unimpressed
