I know you’re going soonnIt’s ok, I won’t freaknCan see it in your eyes, you’ve been moving out for weeksnYou’ve found a girl, she’s so much prettier than menShe’s much cleverer than menShe’s so much happier than mennYou want a lover who takes time over her looksnNot some stupid kid who’s always wrapped up in her booksnBut can I help it if a sentence makes me cry?nAnd the pavement makes me crynAnd the thought of you and InnOh, just leavenThere’s nothing much I want to saynBut close the doornYou know how the atmosphere decays my bonesnI feel the atoms on my skinnOh, I feel the matter closing innnFrom my perch I see the universe as onenSee the planets in their glory, slowly dancing with the sunnSee my ancestors in monkey costumes fucking on the rocksnSee the priestess and her brother and the farmer and his cropsnnAll these sacred histories have led to this one daynWhen you face me on the stairs and say you have to go awaynAnd time stops like ice where all around it once was hotnSo don’t begrudge a girl her books cos they’re all a girl has gotnnThey sit there nownThe words unflinching in their strengthnYou see I only ever readnCos I wish I was brave as themnAnd I know these words will never leave me standing on the stairsnJust like my frozen ancestors they always will be therenIn print, just like your image on my heartnFor ever like the planets light the darknJust like our world is waltzing with the sunnJust like when this world explodes it makes another onennOh you, just leavenI always wanted you to be freenBut next time you see the planets try and think of menAnd this moment on a stairway where I thought that I could seenAll the atoms in your lover, she’s much prettier than menAnd can I help it if an atom makes me cry?nI can’t help it if she’s happier than I
