never mind... i got it covered.
******

it went well
you didn't have to do it all by yourself
some friends came over to help
a handtruck
a friend with a van
and you're moving out again
remembering when you first came
it's crazy these streets are the same
they look different when they were strange
and it's always weird to erase
every personal trace
from a place you called home for a while
and you see all you own in a pile
a place that turned into a friend
return it to how it had been
to be friends with whoever moves in
and you stick around
after all the boxes are down
the fridge is pretty empty just one ice tray
and you swept and mopped today
than in the entire time that you stayed
it's a shame you now gotta leave
the place is actually nice when you clean
it's not hard mopping the floor
why didn't you ever do that before?
but now the van is there on the corner
and you've done everything that you're gonna
there's some pennies and dust on the shelf
but the landlord can clean that herself
you're not sure but you're gonna claim
the blinds were busted like that when you came
and man it's so existential in that room
it's existential with that broom
cuz the room looks the same
but there's no life left
it gets you thinking about death
when you die, will it be the same?
just take down the thoughts decorating your brain
leaving an empty space for the world to reclaim?
you're on the verge of thinkng something deep
then you hear the van give a beep
and then you take one last look around to make sure
then go one last time out the door
and you'll never again see
the angle of the street you saw from that window
take the key out of your pocket
close the front door
and you lock it
drop the key back through the slot
sure hope there's nothing you forgot
