It's Not Beautiful Now

Over the course of 
Twenty two years and a loss that seems like forever is,
coming on strong with the wind 
seems more ready than I

He took the fastest road
That he knew of to get me 
Back where I hailed from

I give but I don't give enough 
and I didn't give him anything
but watery blue eyes
and 
weak hands on 
the steering wheel 
of his white work truck

and I'd like to think that I'm better off without 
the dirt in my mouth,
but I am constantly raging and he is courageous just 
to take me out, 
of this place that isn't a 
home or a
house, or 
beautiful, now.
