I know that it is wrong to complete a puzzle from the inside out
but I think that it is going to be the only way to fill the wholes you've left in me
so now I find myself vacuuming my bed sheets with my nostrils
because I know that the smell of your too short cut hair
is the only thing that will grant me some sleep
I've concluded that it must be your fault that all my lighters have no safetys
I remember cutting my gums every time I'd bite one off for you
Blood just so lighting your cigarette was easier
  But things never were made easy for me, were they?
You ran me dry of money, dry of money, dry of tears
So much time spent on you

Speak with your eyes
Wrinkles on your face
Hints of a smile
Or signs of disgrace
Stay away
For safetys sake
Keep your distance
Choices to make
The space we notice
The feet make us aware
Every person a pariah
With tender love
We care
Corona
