I once knew a married couple
Who lived up north
They let me sleep inside on cold nights
Who had the same eyes
Had as Sebastian
Smoking the sun awake again.
You had the same eyes.
My fears and beliefs
All wrapped up in these
And yet I still fear it was my fault.
Months later
In no state to defend you call me out
And I get it.
This burning cash
It's smoke will sour
All we once had.
Without eyes
My brother
Who had the same eyes
Absorbing the rain.
