Ava

With her head in her scars

Ava studies her palm

As she waits on the window seat

Pebble thrown over arm

Her face is stark in alarm

She says: What do you want from me?

I said why'd you take it as final when you're starting to spiral

Girl, why can't you see?

You know I know you can do it

And I'll help you get through this

Whether it's

Once or twice or again

Again, no

Moonlight in the garden

Grass beneath your toes

Girl in shame says: They can't see me like this

Well, if you slip or stall, I'll be holding your hands

I'll be holding your

Mmm, mmm, I

A couple summers have passed

And I can't place the car

As I walk past her balcony

Words long lost in this air

A little breeze in my hair

Is I think what she might've been

I wonder where she's been living

And if she's still wishing for no one to see?

I know I have to accept this

But if she'd have let me

I'd be there

Once or twice or again

Again
