THIS IS NOT TOGETHER LIVING. MY BENEFIT AT YOUR EXPENSE. I WAS JUST SOME FAIR WEATHER
FRIEND WHO FLED FOR SHELTER AS THE STORM SET IN.
MY MEMORY OF HOW IT WENT, WAS A MEMORY SKEWED TO MY DEFENSE. I TOOK MORE AND MORE FROM YOU UNTIL I BEGGED AND BORROWED ALL THAT I COULD GET.
d*** MY INSATIABLE HUNGER. I ATE MYSELF SICK BEFORE I WAS FED. IT SEEMS I HAD NO CLUE OF ALL
I'D HAD TAKEN UNTIL IT CAME TIME FOR ME TO PAY MY DEBT.
AS THE BLOOD OF EVERY MINUTE POURS THROUGH THE
ARTERIES OF YEARS. I COULD BARELY HEAR YOU HERE THROUGH A LIFE NOW REPRODUCED.
LIKE THE BURNT LEAVES OF AUTUMN, A WORLD FADES AWAY. I COULDN'T KEEP YOU HERE
EVEN THOUGH I BEGGED YOU TO STAY. SO, WHY NOT LEAVE IT FOR WHAT IT IS,
WHY DIG PAST THE QUILLS FOR THE RODENT WITHIN.
WHY NOT LEAVE EVERYTHING THAT HURTS YOU TOO MUCH
ALONE TO DIE IN SOME HOSPITAL BED.
THIS STILL DESERVES A WHISPER, A PROCLAMATION FROM THE ROOFS, WON'T GOD DIVIDE THE
WATER, OR SPEAK ANOTHER TRUTH. MY WORDS ARE SLIPPING FROM ME, I CANNOT MAKE A SOUND,
AS THAT EVER m***LED DRUMMING MEETS THE QUIET OF THE GROUND.
MARCH 31ST OR WAS IT APRIL 04TH, I GUESS THE DATE IS
INCONSEQUENTIAL, BUT I KNOW NOW FOR SURE, THAT I'D TAKEN YOU FOR GRANTED FOR FAR TOO
LONG, AND EVERYONE TAKES EVERYTHING FOR GRANTED UNTIL IT'S GONE
AND I CONCEDE THAT SOME ARE FAR WORSE OFF THAN ME,
AS I SIT HERE WITH MY BOUNTY AND HEALTHY FAMILY,
IGNORING PHONE CALLS FROM GOOD FRIENDS I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THESE DAYS,
AND I LOCK THE DOORS, AND PULL THE SHUTTERS, AND DRAW THE SHADES.
AND I BEG AND BORROW AND NEVER RETURN, AND I FEED AND SIPHON AND I'M NEVER GOING TO
LEARN, THAT YOU WERE NONE OF MY CONCERN. BEG AND BORROW AND NEVER RETURN, AND I
FEED AND SIPHON AND I'M NEVER GOING TO LEARN, THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO IS OF ANY OF MY
CONCERN, AND I'LL WEAR MY GUILT LIKE AN ALBATROSS AROUND MY NECK.
