chalk friendships

i leave my mark, and walk away


you come ten minutes later day by day


every time I scrawl a heart


you leave behind twenty frowns

it's pretty strange


don't you think


how our eyes never meet


as we lay our chalk round and round



and infinitely repeat


our loves and sorrows a trembling mound


a neverending feat

come see my world


it's not too scary


or different from your own


come see inside my head


my dear


as i draw upon this stone
