open the fridge
pick your poison
don't you hear the water running
don't open the faucet
you smell like shame
you look like the sadness I try to escape
close your eyes and fall asleep
wake up far away from me
in the mornings I can barely breathe
tell everyone to look away
hide my face
they pick a side
they walk away
I trust no one
who says they love me
no one will ever know me
go back inside
I love goodbyes
I hate to see her come
if she calls for me
I'll run
close your mouth love
I hate to see you poison yourself in the afternoons
