black pools of insomnia under his eyes

cigarettes don't seem like such a bad idea
crawl toward me. i want to see you do it.
are there scars on your palms and knees?
do we at least have that in common?

i'm not too strange for this.
i just close my eyes a lot. i just give myself headaches a lot.
the skin is stretched too tight across my temples.
my headaches. they scream. they thrash.

i usually don't believe in god.
pretty girls with cigarettes don't inspire much hope.
but after i collapse, i'll be able to keep crawling.
because i believe.

there's a song in my head. it only showed up when you showed up.
it can't be about you until i know why it's about you.
