Time Always Tells with Esther Museba


Time always tells
It's not raining
Even though the forecast said it would
And I spilt my coffee
tripping over my own foot
My mind's a mess
And so is my room
I'm poorly dressed
And it's almost noon
I'm ready to go
Ready to leave
My mind is set
I just need to breathe
Sometimes, it feels
like this will all be over
Sometimes, I don't
want to be sober

I miss the highs
Despite the lows
I said goodbye
And only the Lord knows

How many times
I go about this in my head
Thoughts of my life
Thoughts of things I've said

It's not raining
Even though the forecast said it would
And I can't help but think
That perhaps I should
Pick up my shit
Leave and go
Find a new home
Somewhere amidst the snow

It's been like this since late September
I miss you
And I still remember
The last conversation we had
The layers that were shed
The reasons I left
The bitter dread​​​​​​​
No this is not a love story
And I don't mean to reminisce
I just can't help but think
Of all the decisions
That led up to this
