Salt Line

To lose you, ha-ha-ha.

You needed the silence

When I most needed you.

You’re so far in the distance.

Stupid in mind. Not even your hats

Can make you seem smart.

But you are—

That’s why you married a man like you, too.

When they said it’s so easy to lose you, It meant blocking your phone

Or the dial in my hand.

You once lost something so important.

The meaning of love rides over your head.

Because to you, it’s all affection and silly Knick-knacks…

So, the meaning of losing you means something greater than “you.”

The culture, the people, and the colors you leave behind

And let the next person sweep up under you.

Ha, they think I’m crazy for leaving you.

But you’ve gotten fat and ugly,

Married to a rich person like you.

It’s so easy to lose you…

So easy to lose you

Easy to lose you….

To lose you

Lose you

You.
