All my drafts are gone
it’s a decision I made
in a flint of desperation
I can’t regret it
I don’t regret a thing now
my demeanor is stoic
Hold your lips shut [please close ’em
real fast just hold your tongue
I have something to say]
》 right now is a bad time
though/ honestly there’s no good
time to say goodbye
and I don’t want to ruin your night
So,
I’ll listen to the newborn cry
at least I can relate
just wait just wait baby
you’ll be pacified
with time

The baby is not mine, it’s my landlord’s 😁 more of a metaphor but.. I suppose it could be literal 😅

Haha 😁 either way, you capture that manic disruption a newborn baby brings into any relationship! Nicely written.
