September 29, 1984 Dear so and so
|
Gather me up because I'm lost
|
Or I'm back where I started from
|
I'm crawling on the floor rolling on the ground
|
I might cry I won't go home
|
|
I am turning up in circles
|
And I'm spinning on my knuckles
|
Don't forget that there are circles left undone
|
And very close to me
|
Forgive me comfort me
|
I'm crawling on the floor rolling on the ground
|
|
There's a blanket wrapped around my head
|
I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this
|
I'm holding in my breath
|
I have a room
|
Can you tell if I am lying
|
Don't forget I'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet
|
There's a box insied my chest
|
An animal stuffed with my frustrations
|
Can you hear me?
|
|
Don't forget that I'm alone when you're away
|
You make me act like other people do forgive me
|
Comfort me You comfort me You make me die
|
I'm gonna cry I won't go home
|
|
Don't kill the god of sadness
|
Just don't let her get you down
|
See the man inside this book I read can't handle his own head
|
So what the hell am I supposed to do ?
|
I wonder how he died
|
My hands are shaking don't you love me anymore
|
I only need a person, keep my shoulders
|
Stand around lie down move your hand above the floor
|
|
Gather me up because I'm lost
|
Or I'm back where I started from
|
I'm crawling on the floor rolling on the ground
|
I'm gonna cry you look for me
|
|
Love Kristin
|
P.S. keep them coming
|
