False Start

Pinch my arm and hope you're there

Finger, thumb, and disappear

Call it chaos, call it right

It only hurts until it rhymes

Until it rhymes

Did you look down at my hands

Try to read my callouses

Did I watch it melt away?

Remember when i loved LA

And didn't stay?

What a shame

How incomplete

With more to say

Than slides between our teeth

If it's a false start

We’re just doing our best and

What I thought when I saw you

I knew it when I left

When I left
