Been Too Long

Let’s go grab coffee
and I can savor your heroic ego
as you explain the world to me

It isn’t the decade we missed
that wanes our
cherished hollow hearts

We lament the wisdom
that gives us sense
of how truly long its been

We can shape a dialogue

from each devastating loss
and elevating joy

We can take a ride along

the meandering emptiness
of our city

Goddamn I miss the way
you ascribed vain meaning
to this unfeeling oblivion
you spent an instant living in
