Sand Time Machine

Owen's house is full of sunlight and dusty corners I command the power and the tools to make it clean Owen smells like fresh cut grass in the morning When he mows the lawn and makes me breakfast while I sleep How I hate to be a ghost I make his eyes look haunted I try to let him know It's not what I wanted Love is like an hourglass with no bottom That you empty then you leave A sand time machine I would like to scour his bathroom tile and scrub his baseboards I would go out back and pick the flowers off his weeds Put them in a jar and set it on the kitchen table And sit right there pretending that he still belongs to me How I hate to be a ghost I make his eyes look haunted I try to let him know It's not what I wanted Love is like an hourglass with no bottom That you empty then you leave A sand time machine
