coney island

were you waiting at our old spot
in the tree line by the gold clock?

did i leave you hanging every single day?

were you standing in the hallway,
with a big cake, happy birthday?

did i paint your bluest skies the darkest gray?

a
universe
away

and when i got into the accident,
the sight that flashed before me was your face

but when i walked up to the podium
i think that i forgot to say your name
