Feet Asleep

toss up

so you'll fall asleep

cook you dinner

but you would not eat

your sharp mouth forgets when you swore

god damn, you wouldn't do it again

but i

bend back

with an eye

for love

and i take it on the chin

and then i patch you up

but all these years, my feet asleep

move them around

that they might breathe

and oh, so little time

i, i have gone old

this shock

this shock and awe

come back to see me

i know they have a rainy season

come back to see me

i know they have a rainy season

you

you are mine

so i never would mind

i work my arms so hard

just to give you an airplane ride
