a lovely queen bed in a tidy one-bedroom
staying in bed all day will make you sick and
turning away and keeping cold
deleting and deleting and deleting
will keep you alone but
what i don't tell you when i tell you i'll be alright
when i tell you it's going to be okay is that
i cannot see ahead of tonight
i haven't seen a single second of the past two years
before they hit me
all i know is the familiar face of this black cloud
in the mirror
over the bed
and my greatest dream is to happily live
with my bitterness with my curses
what i haven't told you when i told you i'm okay
is that i am certain it will always be this way
