unfinished business

Leave

it there Don’t fix the silence I like

it

when Something is missing

You said every story Needs somewhere to land

Every loose end

Should fit in your hand

But I like the sentence Before it knows why The door half

open The unfinished goodbye

Don’t count me in Don’t close the frame I’m still becoming Before

you give it a name

Don’t finish the song

I still live here Between the last word And what you thought

you’d hear Don’t finish the song Don’t make it behave

Leave one note hanging Leave something unsaved Don’t finish—

Don’t finish— The song

You want the chorus Exactly on time Something to hold onto Something

that rhymes But what if the wrong turn Is where I belong?

What if the ending Is ruining the song?

Don’t pull me back

Into the line I want the moment Before it decides

Don’t finish the song

I still live here Between the last word And what you thought

you’d hear Don’t finish—

No.

Not there.

Take out the drums

Leave me the room

Leave me the breath

Before the tune

Take out the answer

Take out the proof

Maybe a song

Doesn’t owe you the truth

So maybe this is where it ends

Maybe I—

The door half open

The unfinished goodbye

Don’t finish the song

I’m not done changing

Move the last chord

Keep the floor shaking

Don’t finish the song

Let it fall apart

Leave me one second

Before the restart Don’t finish—

Don’t finish—

You did.
