how long, jenny (demo)

Jenny cried the whole way down sinking underneath- I left the front door open for her back room grief Stared down every line in the road hoping to see your name. They spelled absolutely nothing at all- ain’t it a shame, but who’s to blame? How long can just one year last if you never say it out loud? I tried to fight the sun for the past, but it hid underground- nowhere to be found. You left without telling the kitchen the ashtray still thinks you’re home. Driving past exits I forgot by heart, pretending they all look familiar now Jenny was humming a song I forgot or maybe it never existed. I asked what she needed, she said “Keep moving,” and I did. How long can just one year last if you never say it out loud? I tried to fight the sun for the past, but it hid underground- nowhere to be found. Jenny cried the whole way down I kept reading between the lines Jenny cried the whole way down and I just kept on trying, I just keep trying.
