you are my everything
when we're together,
heaven is wherever we are

I crave your touch
Your taste
Your warmth

like a hunger

When we're apart
I think of only you,
where you are,
who you're with,

And I wonder why we can't be together always

You set me free
and keep me grounded
You are my sun
my stars
my sky

And how dark the world is
when you say goodbye

i was born in leather
on a motorcycle
i am a lone wolf
no friends
no enemies
just me
my leather jacket
and my baby bike

You were my Bouey
Helping me stay afloat
And I clung to you
You were my person
My borrowed sanity

You see I lost my marbles years ago

If I ever had them at all

I always wondered
Why you needed me
Like I needed you?

What did I offer?
Besides psychosis?

I was a broken person
I lost pieces of myself all along the way

So by my math

Keep in mind I'm terrible at math

We made a person and a half
maybe a person and a third

But as I clung to you
you opened up

And revealed the holes
Where you lost pieces too

And I realized my math was off
We didn't make multiple people when put together
We barely had enough pieces left to make one

Also You didn't give me any paper
You  butthead

How come dogs die?
And kids get cancer?
How Come bad things happen?
How come they happen to me?

Before
I never asked why
I never had enough sadness
To wonder

And now I need the answer
Like air in my lungs
Like I needed you

But the empty room offers no answers
or comfort

No excuses
Just loneliness

And the sadness is a river

of dead dogs
and dying children
And I'm facing the flood alone?

How Come?

I guess I can live without the answer

I sure learned how to live without you
