small town

Even though my heart is still long gone
it’s still there
small town with you.

I forget the streets but I
know them like the back of my hand.
I let go of memories that nestle close
though I kept them at bay.

There’s something in the water
in your windy city that
I left behind.

Something in my heart that dwells
in different places now.

Names that linger and make me laugh
I shed my feathers when
I’m small town with you.
