Porch Song from Dispatch by Folios

She walked with him through a purple patch
Hellbent on content but with a catch
Wondering why he would wander
Even though she knows
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Would she have let him go?

Emerging in a gown without a sound
He held her hand at the lost and found
They weathered the storms together,
Walked on broken glass
A cracked lens of a memory
Hoped for a better past

Grieving for a soul without a name
Leaves space for a whole new kind of pain
When the loss becomes our albatross
Growing thicker skin at such a cost
Two thirds of a triangle
Still carrying a torch
To tend to homefires burning
Light out on the porch
