you say that I'm your
inspiration
to be healthy
you're my
inspiration
to stay alive
I never appreciated sleep
until I was up all hours of the night
thinking about you
I wonder if you are trying to ease
your way into my life
it's not gonna work
because I've gotten over you
I've pushed you out of my life
and I hope it stays
I don't need my life to be ruined
again by your evil ways
you wouldn't touch me
because you wanted it to work out

you didn't want it to crumble
the moment your fingers
caressed my gentle skin

you didn't want your
callused hands to tear away
my being

it would have worked out
but your chapped lips
dried out my soul

you rarely looked at me
because maybe your eyes
would betray you

but maybe this was what we needed
to be together
I wish love made sense
like my math homework
or my history class
I wish I could calculate it
like I can in chemistry
or shape it like clay
I wish it was beautifully written
like novels in my English class
or maybe sweet like the words
of a foreign language
rolling off my tongue
*if only love were simple
people say they are ready for zombies
to invade and take over
but have you ever walked
into a high school and looked
at all the zombies there?
medicine
it's got me all over
I feel like the bed is moving
with nothing underneath
people trading on beds but
I can't seem to move
the ships leave now
but with everyone
so who is holding my hand--
I look up and see-- you
you kept your promise to stay
oh Ethan
I wrote this long after I took a sleeping medication so I was a little loopy
