Bridal Court Park

I ran into friends at the Bridal Court Park

Resisted the nerve to ask Gwen for a spark

We laughed at the marriage of Gio’s sweetheart

And I never thought to ask them

Under oath I remembered the news

The truth of the villain that haunted my youth

He died at the altar without any room

For flowers for my ghost to send

If riddles could climb my walls I bet you they’d laugh

At the thought of falling

If memories could fade with time I think that I’d lie

Just to believe in something

My friends only knew what I wanted to share

They never wanted to see my eyes so bare

But life only wanted me to be aware

That the past will never fight fair

I think that I’d rather be left all alone

Hollow and lifeless and wrecked by the phone

With my shoes by the door as I read the bloodstone

Of what could’ve been had I known

This won’t be the end of us, I’ll be back in the fall

For Gwen’s grand wedding

This feels like a brand new wish, I think I don’t mind

To think slow and steady
