Fruit
i'm thinking about things that have happened
furniture lived through
a backyard i called france
a wedding that i never planned for
a heartbreak that i was unprepared for

a million dollars
that ruined everything
your lion eyes never meeting 
mine mine mine

i'm thinking about things that have happened
since i quit the drugs
since i lost my horse and my house
my husband.

how love always feels like some great surprise to me
i never expect such lemon trees
with it's fruit falling and bruising around me
i thought about myself so exclusively
and i knew it and i'm sorry.
