...Except that suffering is exact...

Lie on your favorite side
Curl
Pull the blankets over your head,
Cover up
Just enough to smother, mildly
Just enough to suffocate, lightly
Inhale,
Exhale-exhale-exhale.........
Shallow breaths
Choke a little
Easy, easy
Choke a little harder
Slowly, slowly
Bite that thumb
Hold it back
Blink, blink, blink
It gets a little wet,
a little messy,
drip-drip-drip dry,
Steady, steady...

with wounded lips and salted cheeks

So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything

I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away

/////////////////////////////////////

Won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?
No it's not a good look,
gain self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me
so it doesn't hurt
