i am pathetic and in love with everything
waiting for a sign watching for you to begin to
glow

and she's a rainbow and your only heart's desire

while i am fire & rain & all of the noises you can't explain
in the middle of night when all of the lights have been
turned off

sleep will not find you here, dear

and even the closets are too dark for the monsters you
drag about leaving your footprints inside my head
again

and to think that all this time you thought i was pretending

i really wasn't dead.
