this is the fifth time today my eyes fall closed. in a minute or two i'll dissolve into the night sky. i've become much more silent, but only a little less eager. i'm tired during her absences, and she vividly walks in dreams. this is the third time this week i think of cigarettes. i wonder how i manage to survive the suffocation. i'm living with severe headaches, and loving my personal sadness. so in turn i put death between my lips, and slowly breathe my life away. this is the first time you affect me this way. and i dug deep in the earth to find you alive. i want you as much as i don't. it's like nicotine and sleep; more than a little and less than too much, just enough, until we are airborne for good.
