Your husband and I Were childhood blood brothers Our difficult home situations Would render us inseparable Our mothers smoked pregnant Our fathers either or died or disappeared Wed stay up and take drugs and stargaze And plan crimes that we never did Your husband and I Made promises at 17 To be old men with houseboats and grandchildren Who would be childhood blood brothers like we were Some fires fade out When you need them for longer When its freezing and the sun is still hours away Who cannot be any stronger Your husband met you You really pulled him from the darkest place And I had been in love before but he never had It was beautiful to witness the downfall Some fires burn out Before they get stronger Im praying for oxygen to restart the ashes That I cannot take any longer
