Every Time You Say Hello

Pride, love, pain

you kill me a little bit

every time you say hello

i’m so tired of this wicked kill

slowly, so slowly

I know better.

life with you is life without you

I know the quiet times well, the moments so pristine

I know your breath, the pauses in between

I know what’s underneath

I love your core, I love you

naked in my bed

I loved

every raw moment

I loved it all

Life’s so short and everyone asks

just what exactly am I doing these days

you’ve worn me,

worn me out
