How much longer can I sit in the dark
before I melt away?
Counting down the days, even though I know
You're counting too.
And your counting is filled to the brim with meaning, more so than mine, close to the point of overflow
25
You toss the words around and test them on pink stained lips
24
"Will I make it that long?"
23
"I can't wait"
22
"My head hurts"
21
"I'm sorry"
