will this rain ever stop
i picture you somewhere, anywhere & you
are smiling, smiling while i am
dying
here standing in the dark so to better understand
your need to be
alone.
a light switch, a thumbprint, a means of madness
i never intend to use unless i lose
a little more,
a little less.
you once said it's all the same to you
well if thats so,
what then

what then

i don't need you to feel sorry for me, only to call
once in awhile, maybe ask how i'm doing, ask if
i'm
still
breathing.

i could say, barely
and you could care for a minute and this could
all mean something.
this waiting. all of these moments
i set aside to
still remember you.

maybe then they would amount to something.

a little recognition is in perfect need, love.
even though
i know
you're never coming back

you are never coming back.
