I don't know about you
But I would really like
For you to dispute the thought
Balloon that looms just like
A picture of ocean waves above
My head and wants to say
Everything to you in scare quotes
Like you've heard every-
thing I was going to say before
Or the authorship of my words
Was somehow doubtful or clearly
Attributable to someone other
Than myself I wish you would
Burst my bubble and discretely
Sing the song I couldn't
Sing myself because everything
I do feels false without you even
The simplest things like breathing
Or making a pot of coffee they
Seem substanceless even though
You told me on the phone tonight
No one can make me happy but
Myself that you had given every-
thing up for "art" your other lover
Your friends your city and me
And if you couldn't be sad you'd
Just assume not feel anything at all.
