You Are Not Here

You are not here Not at home Not comfortable But each day starts Wake up next to me Hair's never good The show never fills Sing out to darkness Leaving the ground Losing an edge I fucked up the wheels And I still dream about it What will we do with Our time after this Parenting kids on Traveller's cheques Sleeping on planes Married by friends Taking my name With all of its dents There's light at the edge Berries to pick This thirst that I have May it never be quenched You are not here Not at home Not comfortable But each day starts --- You Are Not Here - Aidan Knight
