Take one of these and
call me tomorrow
lay down and rest
close your eyes.
I want to see you
get better, get healthy
get lots of sleep --
at least, try.
There’s no other way out
just let the time pass
stay down, babe, you said just stay down.
But I want to give in
to the rain soaking my
clothes to lights awake all
night
above town.
So when you’re sleeping deeply
I’ll put on a jacket
and make my way to the backyard. I’ll roll both
of my sleeves up and tell you everything
I’ll let you see each of my scars.
