Petty

• You didn’t text me on my birthday.
• I know I know, I walked away
• but you asked if you could
• even when everything was breaking
• between us in that burning room and now
• I’m breaking and thought you would
• save me, like you always did. But still,
• perhaps, you knew, like you always did,
• what my heart needed most, and gave that
• to me instead. You, the better put-together half,
• are still saving me, even after all this time.
