it's a long way down. i know. i know.
by Olivia Weinkeini sleep with you in my head
i wake with you on my breath
a thousand drunken telephone calls
to him will never change that.
it's just something you do
when you think there's nothing left to
hold on to. desperation makes us restless,
wreckless, strung up too high to touch but
it makes us all the more honest about
what it is we truly want.
you.
you.
you.
and he could never be that and i am forever
reminded every time i feel his voice.
you're so close.
he's so far away.
but the differences do not end there.
only start.
and he can have my drunken rambling. he can
have all the things i can never bring myself to say
to you....
can have my heart.
