You haven't told me your life story because I think you're afraid I'll notice the suicides which may or may not line your arms
Your neck
Which really needs to be kissed more by someone who'll at least admire the bruises
It's good to see you're branded by something you can enjoy
Why you let Them make you regret it is something I cannot understand
I won't allow it
Why you won't let me in is something I'll always understand
I don't want to
Your walls have been standing for too long because of things that happened so quickly
I am sorry I'm another addition to the ashlar
I wish there was a hole in the brick marked by my name and hair which still gets in your mouth
I'm glad to see you're not angry
I'm glad to see you were
William
