One nights

She's always sick

She never tells me why

Smooth in silent hair

Digs into the couch

Into my heart

Not very, I know nothing about her at all

But what makes her smile

What makes her talk just a bit

And what makes her fall

Into my arms each night

I had to find her 

Name in her wallet

I'm at her mercy - and I comfort her.

I still make her 

Uncomfortable, I can tell

I can't remember anything 

That happens when I'm with her

In my heart, I get a nagging feeling

She's not an asshole,

I'm just an ass.

I've considered some pretty terrible things

For sticking around with no word sticking through

How do I fill in this blank?

She will purr as she knocks on my door

To be let out into the world

She feels so cold

I've tried every permutation

We started as lovers; 

I don't even know if we're friends

But still, she can't be figured out

In her back-pocket I live

Amongst the records we play

The traces of her braid

She barely tells me anything

Every time I open my mouth she gets sick
