The other half.

whose tears were these which ran the ink?
were they his by chance from telling her?
were they hers by chance from reading it?
they could have been collective,
they could have been from someone else.
why don't we see what's at the bottom,
why don't we see what comes next.
...
we couldn't fake it, so why even try?

goodbye to sleep. i think this staying up is exactly what i need.
take apart your head, take apart the counting and the flock it has bred.
...
goodbye to love
goodbye you liar
goodbye my love
take apart your head, chew it up and swallow it
...
i don't mind you under my skin

but please, remember me.

meet me where the road parts; you remember, where we first met. you were the only one who didn't fold.

i need you like water in my lungs.

so save your scissors for someone else's skin.  my surface is so tough i don't think the blades will dig in.
...
so why does it always seem that every time i turn around somebody falls in love with me?

I'm so much better than I used to be.
...
Rely a bit too heavily on alcohol and irony
...
and I'm leaning on this broken fence between past and present tense.
and I'm losing all these stupid games, that I swore I'd never play,
but it almost feels okay.

gonna float on, maybe would you understand?

Lately I don’t think of you at all
Or wonder what you’re up to
Or how you’re getting on
I never think of calling you
Or how things could have been
Or wonder where you sleep at night
Or whose arms you wake in
I’m living alone, living alone
Lately
I don’t get lost in daydreams
I never lay awake at night
Staring in my bed
And I don’t think about your face
Or anything you’ve said
And I don’t think twice
When someone says your name
Or twist my mind in circles
Wondering which of us to blame
I never walk alone and think
Of all the empty words
Or wonder when the day will break
Or when the time will turn
And I don’t break down
When someone says your name
Or twist my mind in circles
Wondering which of us to blame
