numb.

she?s a brick and i?m drowning slowly

they call her name at seven thirty. i pace around the parking lot
i walk down to buy her flowers, and sell some gifts that i got.

feeling more alone than she ever has before

as weeks went by it showed that she was not fine
they told me son it?s time to tell the truth and

driving back to her apartment, for the moment we?re alone
she?s alone. i?m alone. now i know it.
