My 85th Rodeo - Worriers

I see the circles under your eyes and it’s been years

I’ve got questions and you’ve gone grey since you’ve moved here

But our seats at the bar feel the same

We can run but we’re back here anyway

Smile at the worst of things.

Laugh when I hate everything

I can re-read every exchange, every display of misplaced energy

What was I, high?

I must’ve been drunk to think that we were as good as it

looked

When the best of days were the worst of times that I can’t get off of my mind

In this life, some things go unheard

I pretend not to notice cause this anxiety hurts

I can still find you in crowds.

You’re impressed and I am floored right now

But that doesn’t really change much

When the best of days were the worst of times that I can’t get off of my mind

I’ve waited but we’ll never begin.

Kept me miserable and thin

When the best of days were the worst of times, I protect my heart from my own

mind

It’s hard when add to the list of things I can’t make up

You think about me on New Years
