Burning gas and my lungs is better than sitting alone with all the empty time to think Think about the tears and layers of neosporin that you went through trying desperately to make the lines heal without a trace Trace the lines of her face on the cold screen because it makes you feel closer to her somehow Somehow you're carrying on, you feel weight of the universe on your shoulders and you're too dizzy to stand much longer Longer than the miles between seems to be the time until you next have her in your arms Arms that are weary and sore and cut up, but they still pull and reach and grab and push Push everyone away until you're alone again, bridges are what you're best at burning.
