how can i say these words
without breaking?
how can i lose myself to you
my own making?
—
you and me
are dancing
stepping on feet
leaving bruises
(it's a cold hard lost battle baby)
—
clothes made of lace
strung from a spider's web
put me in my place
say what you said
—
this is war
war darling
these low-hung lights
the music singing downwards
is not going to change
a
single
thing
—
i cannot love
you
i cannot hate
you
why can't you just
leave me alone
i'm sick of you
tired of you
i wish i didn't love you
because i cannot
—
welcome to this war
honey
