Temptation follows us all
As we spin on this axis
Waiting for tilt
To turn us downward.
How does the world continue to spin
Under all this weight?

I could not be with you so I became you.

Do I make you wince?
Was I a lost fawns salt lick?
Was I a never was, your life's whiskey limp?
I guess I never took your hint
I guess you thought I could take the hit
Since that's been that conversations been zip
I can't say I was always innocent
But let's hope its a two way lapse of conscience

Stop comparing tragedy—
We all know this already—that
Everything hurts.

I dream of you, but
I do not day dream of you, and
That is a step in the left
Direction.

when i sleep i sleep alone happily
because we never slept together to begin with
and i don't have your warmth to miss if i
have always lived under blankets and not arms
(but i know i would miss you if i'd had you)

sappy lately, maybe happy lately,
maybe lately just greatly lonely?
