Please help me wash this lump down my swollen throat.
|
With all these other things that I find hard to swallow.
|
Tongue in cheek.
|
Foot in mouth.
|
Hung myself with my own shoelaces.
|
Sit back, relax.
|
It won't take long for the life to leave my eyes.
|
On and on.
|
I don't have time to clean up the mess we've made.
|
Keep quiet.
|
I'll sweep this under the sofa and the chair.
|
These arms can't hold the weight of these mistakes.
|
Too weak to change the sheets from when you stayed.
|
I go on and on.
|
We can't say we tried or put ourselves aside.
|
We might have pretended we were satisfied.
|
Walk on now, but my feet hurt, so I can't make that trek this time.
|
I'll see you when I see you, goodbye.
|
And while these memories start to fade and photographs are thrown away,
|
I'll save a little piece on my side.
|
Breathe out of your insecurities and hang them out with mine.
|
I hope you save a piece on your side.
