With every sunset
I can see more clearly
That I was the one holding the rope
I was the one stealing your air

I am the reason I'm alone.
But I'm not the only one.

Two broken things don't make a whole.

You're going to meet no resistance
When you decide you're ready
Once you've made it clear that you're looking
They'll be jumping in your way to catch your attention
"Over here! Over here!" They'll cry,
Begging for a moment of your fancy.

I already know,
Don't you?
You'll have no trouble
Putting on the other shoe.
Becoming one in one hundred, overnight.

I know your frame
Too well
For you to be
Just a face in the crowd
Living is just an attachment
a drop to some E-mail
most of us fail it
I sail as close to the wind as I can

she warms the saki
although I much prefer
raki
but I love her
for doing me that.

It's like some well-kept secret...


Shhhhh, don't tell Evie!
When everyone knows but you

This is me
With my hands over my ears
Eyes squeezed shut
Humming sweet lalalalalalalullabys to myself
Rocking back and forth
In the fetal position.

This is me falling asleep with the TV on
This is me hoping it's just a nightmare I'll wake up from
This is me holding out for a hopeless cause
This is me on a bad day

Thank any god that's out there
It's my first bad day in weeks.
