i'm going to be
woken up when
september ends to
i will see october first
*(i'm scared to
death of living
but i'll try it for
awhile anyway)*
and sure i lay
in bed until noon
most mornings
a hot dim
reconfigured dream
trying to find
reasons any
reason
*(i couldn't today
didn't feel like music
didn't want coffee
didn't want to talk to friends
didn't want breakfast
didn't want to create
didn't want
didn't)*
replaying your face
bathed in two a.m. blue light
telling me that i had to
keep going and that
maybe it was selfish
but you couldn't handle
the rest of your life
without me in it
*(we were both crying
by the time we went to bed
and i'm crying again
when i think about it)*
you know those mornings
when you wake up and know
that before the sun goes down
your face will have felt tears?
yeah it was
one of those
*(and tears aren't pretty
just kind of watery)*
and by the time i had a
cup of tea and was sitting
at the kitchen table i was
sobbing my eyes out
*(i am so
tired)*
i couldn't help it
can't help any of this
*(i am so
*******
tired of being
broken in half)*
and i am so
tired of fighting
to find a reason to
get out of bed.
