As Soon As You Come Back
As soon as you come back I'll be gone,
As soon as you realize what you've done,
I'll be far enough, so you won't reach me,
But close enough to feel you leaving.
Take the weight up off of my arms, carry me.
Face the demons, hold your tongue.
Break the blood between the sheets, permeate.
Mistake words for the gnashing of teeth and bite down.
Bite down.
