Sometimes
Sometimes I get nervous
And I don't know why,
And some days when
I wake up in the morning
It feels like the world's been set on fire,
And it's all I can do to
Brew a pot of coffee
And just close my eyes.
Today I lit a cigarette
And it tasted like regret,
But it smelled like you.
I half thought I forgot,
But it's the little things
That catch me off guard.
Sometimes it's all too hard,
But it's okay because
I have a problem feeling.
I'm either just awake
Or simply sleeping.
I've never been good at
Deciphering lousy affairs of the heart.
This body is just a broken vessel.
I need another band-aid.
My mind has sprung a leek
And the ideas won't stop coming,
And they only come when I try to sleep.
