I want to be everything for you.
And I try, so [...]

Glass shattering again and again.
Sharp explosions of light
and flashes of heat.
Eyes close, squint tight
trying to shut out the pain.

Rain on a Monday,
Bleak weather for a bleak day;
Should have stayed in bed.

Why do you talk like that?
I don’t know.
Why do you look like that?
I don’t know.
Why do you act like that?
I don’t know.
Don’t you know anything.
I know I don’t like you.
