Incongruous
-Josiah Vermont

Now I’ve always been introspective and stoic
cynical, pragmatic, misread
You flipped the script calling me a narcissist
from a character study rooted in your head
You never came with me to see Frampton
I sat alone in a sold out house
He played Lines On My Face at the very end
and it felt like every word came out of my mouth
These lawyers are strangers you send at me
like the judge presiding over your case
Went from kisses to a courtroom petitioning for my son
and at what times he can see my face
I don’t know if there’s advice you’re being fed
or how that would have worked out for them
But I’m happy it’s over before wedding bells rang
and relieved from stifling depression
