Seventeen

I’m trying to learn your patterns of energy
What do they do, and what do they really mean?
When no one’s listening, we disagree
I know you’re just waiting for me to leave…
You saw UFOs when you were seventeen
Those lights in the air — what did they even mean?
And I should have met you at seventeen before you learned how not to believe —
before you knew any better
I know you’re just waiting for me to leave with your eyes closed pretending to
sleep
I can find the moment you gave up on me. Definitely
