do not ask me if i am ok
because i will remember i am not, not, not
and a fire will build up in my stomach
and get caught when it rises towards my head
and my brain will be burnt up by the memories trying to wash it clean
i always expect them to be a cool mist, but no matter how pleasant, they are always gasoline
and it burns, burns, burns
your hand across my face
hitting my head on the piano bench,
and this is how you’re supposed to learn, learn, learn
not to make the same mistakes again
but how was i to understand
that love and hatred always come from the same hand
now i’m shaking in my bed,
5am and 2pm it’s all the same sometimes,
a book that you wanted me to read,
i got halfway through and put it down for months
starting all over again
i want to start all over again
but i do not want to erase
any little piece of where i am
but that doesn’t matter and it never will
there are words you will forget for every single page you turn,
that is something you can never change,
it doesn’t matter how much it burns
