falling into running and this must end

how come it’s never

you? turn off the lights and

just stop. i’m the one waiting

around for you. i’m

the one. measure this, a million

pearly drops for every night

you forgot me, for every night

I stayed in bed to not be touched

by other boys, for every breath

I breathed and didn’t talk

about the past, and didn’t

talk about the future. how come

you’re never losing me? i’m

the one. i’m losing both

of us. even the computer

is breaking, won’t spit out

this disk, hold down the

mouse and fix it, i can fix

this, i can fix… i can’t fix

the sewing machine, the last

outlet. i baked but got

burned. your feet hurt, so

what, that’s great, baby, just

stop. i won’t eat that. just

stop. i go down on my knees and

the skinned one stings and i

cry out. this? it was never

a choice. don’t bother

to wait around, why should

you join me in this, why should

both of us do it, why?
