these days it seems
that every time i sit
i want to run

and every time i get up
i just want to go back to bed

i lie in my bed at night
just itching to get out
with nowhere to go,

and i think of you
all of you

the people i hurt
the ones who hurt me

and no matter how much i cry
the tears won't stop
and no matter how many
lights are on
it's still
pitch
black

9:57,
i nearly call you
just to say-

3:00,
i'll wake up crying
grasping at-
nothing

6:00,
the light will pour in
and i'll forget that
you are there
and i am here

9:57,
i'll sit here
and i'll wonder if i should
but i won't
and life will continue on.
without you.

do you ever
sit in your shower
knees curled up
head in your hands
and forget who you are?

do you
put your hair up
turn the water
as hot as it will go
and sit below it?

do you sit there
and listen
to the drops of water
drumming
lightly
burning
until you've evaporated?

you
you're the feeling
of finally closing your eyes
after a long day

you're the feeling
of coming home
on Christmas Day

you're the feeling
of waking up
in the arms of someone else

you're a feeling
that i'll never have
because i'm a feeling
you've never liked

i'm pretty sure
i'm falling for
the boy i said
i would
never
fall for

i'm pretty sure
i'm falling
too hard
too fast
for him to catch me

i'm pretty sure
that he
will never
love me
not like i love him.
