Wasn't I wanted
When I was there?
Your four sides to these long rides
of your square?
So say it, I don't want your copy and paste
I want your old broken self
Filled with liquor, and haste
The way shelves of fine China used to crash down
Inside of your chest when no one was around
You would grapple and shake, you would fall to the ground
And you'd cry
You'd cry.
Only I knew that sound.
I wish I weren't sour
Wish my thoughts about you
Didn't seize up and freeze the moment that they come through
I also wish you'd stop acting
Like I'm an asset of the past
Like you are happy now at last
You should see the way it hurts me.
It's selfish to act like I'd cross rivers for you
When you know I don't swim, unless you're drowning, too.
