She came over yesterday
Wanted to “talk”
Then left with all my money
Love conquers all
It’s turned me into
someone I don’t recognize
Someone small
Lately I can’t separate my hands
From this chain link fence
An act of kindness (shrapnel)
A desperate moment (landmine)
I’ll take your handouts (Dear John)
I’ll take your life
My brain can’t calculate the odds
Black hole apartment (gas can)
Sex once a week
A constant argument
Where have we gone
And where are we now
What if the person that you care for
Doesn’t care for anything anymore
Locked into a codependent timeshare
You can’t pay for
Eating, streaming, staying up
Fighting, lying, making up
You call and the first thing that you say is
“Let’s order out”
I know there’s a person in there somewhere
Will anything ever feel new
Love and joy and strength and peace
Can you take these things
and bury them next to me
