It hurts me

If I think too hard

About how you’re avoiding me

I know it’s because

I partly fear it from myself

But maybe you could look after me for a change.

I’m not convinced it wasn’t a sham

Just come out right and say it

You can’t afford the time

And me, who only matters

In clouds of your intoxicated breath

You meant it then but

I’m finding it hard to tell.
