While Ben Gibbard Sings In The Background

Poised

On the edge.

Your bed is still warm.I try to cover my face

But you keep brushing

My hair away.

I’m exposed.

Your fumblings echo,

Repeating in my mind like

Broken records

Scratching me.

And time couldn’t moveAny slower 

If I’d begged to stutter.

It is finished.

Let me leave

And try to maintain

Some dignity.

You were the first

But will not be the last.
