Don't you dare
Ask me why I've been distant
Maybe it's because it's been two weeks
Since I've felt your dry nervous hands
Fiddling with mine as if
You were a crack addict
On his last straw from breaking

And maybe it's because you still act
like I'm immovable and tamed
Like I'll come bolting to your feet
at the sound of your name

All this may be true
But you play my like a fool, and I just want to run
But I'm afraid you won't notice
The space I'll leave when I'm gone
