I tried so hard to die in your arms.
I thought you said you’d keep me from harm;
It was something you said when you said,
"Supper’s ready."
The lines on my face…
You said I’ve aged steady.
Well, thanks to you, 
I’ve skipped a heartbeat or two.
 
I circled your plane in search of existence.
You fucked with my brain,
But met no resistance.
I’m only alive for the pain of persistence.
I’m always just this far away.
 
You know one of my dreams is to play this scene:
You’d be calling my name,
But it’s not the same.
You’d call me flesh and blood.
The fire and the flood is rejoined
In praise of you;
You’d tell me what to do.
 
But it’s only a dream.
I can think for myself.
With you I’m all alone;
The TV and the phone
Always for you.
It doesn’t matter what I do,
I’m so alone with you…
 
Alone when I’m with you.
