we need to start talking
about  something —
a n y t h i n g
before i lose my head,
before you drop the knife,
slicing down, wearing thin
like my blood tonight.

how many shots were fired?
we never needed inhibitions anyway.
glowing drinks, hand in hand,
and i know
the elephant following you
will crush you soon enough.
how many times have i sworn?
i lost count,
you don't care.
i never stopped.

please just *******
say something —
A N Y T H I N G
before i take the plunge,
before you pull the plug,
shutting down, aging skin
like our hands tonight.

i love you and you love me.
how many times have i told you?
you lost count,
i don't care.
we never stopped.

so let's talk about something.
