will you love me as my hair turns grey
will you love me as my skin starts to wrinkle
I don't think you will, I think you'll look for someone younger
someone with shiny blonde hair and smooth skin
someone who wants kids, because I never did
you wanted to be a father and, well, I wanted to travel
I thought we could make it work... we couldn't
so now I sit here, my body decaying
everyday I look more and more like a skeleton
my body rots away and my mind slowly follows
I'm lonely and unloved, just like I thought would happen
I began collecting kittens like they were paintings
threw away people like they were garbage
I know no words, I speak only in meows and purrs
I lost the ability to be human when I lost you
