Cricket Blue, Taylor Smith, Christopher Hawthorn and Laura Heaberlin - I Hope You Never Think of Me

I hope you never think of me.
My old friend, I never think of then.
To end up in the country quietly,
Just like you would have guessed–
I never would have lasted.

Oh, but here I read your name I found
Where I wouldn’t know it,
And the sight of it calls my forgiveness out.
I never did let go of it

I read an interview you gave
About your work, your followers.
You said you try to not perpetuate–
Pass on your harm–you said that it is hard.

Oh, how the cluster flies rush out
Once the window’s opened.
Are hundreds more still hatching in the house?
To get them all is hopeless.
I hear them circling around.

You never told me how you’re hurt:
What he did when you were just a kid.
Only read it in an essay that you wrote,
Along with everybody else,
But it’s your story to tell.

Oh, friend, I hope you made it out.
I hope you’re not afraid to
Let someone feel sorry for you now.
Does their sorrow still betray you?
You said the poison in your cup
Was my fault, I should drink it up–
A fraction of the poison in the flask
That you’d been passed.

And then this fragment comes around,
Just like a breath, your tenderness:
Drove me an hour to let a lover down.
Stood by in the cafe to bring me home again.
