introduce yourself as the first boy who doesnβt
cry; a stoic memory of the non-poet
still thereβs poetry in your eyes and your touch
youβre not my first obsession
this love is all too familiar
Iβm happy to be back here
I never thought Iβd be back here
itβs a warm passion that takes over me
itβs an unbearable weight of feeling alone
a time clock Iβm delighted to see spin
but equally as afraid of what itβs going to show me
all over again
Yes, my love, how sweet it is but I think I know
where it goes
I hope this time it doesnβt take me under
