oct262013

you never gave back the key when you left,

so when i'm lonely i don't put the chain on the door.

sometimes the cat just sits there for hours

and she's never done that before but part of me thinks it would be stupid

to blame that on you. she's doing it right now

and i can't really take it.

i saw a picture of you today

and i could hear your voice and your laugh and your smile. yes, even your smile.

i know it's for the best that you haven't called,

but it ******* bugs me, man. it really ******* bugs me.

if you love me so much,

why aren't you trying? why aren't you using that ******* key?

it kills me not knowing what i want.

i want to hear the rattle of you coming back

i want to forget you

i want you to lift me up and squeeze

i want to burn the clothes you forgot

i want to wake you up in the morning

i want to meet someone else

i want to kiss your blond hair forever

i want you to stay away,

etc.
