you can be mean to me – 5/6/13

5/6/13 9:34pm – 5/28/13 2:43am

you can be mean to me
(the curse & cure of being easily effected)

I
zahira

i don’t mean to play god
but something told me to
it told me of two words
that’d mean much more to you

two words:
come back.
the shortest sentence stopped her
slipping through the cracks

i was well on my way
to losing you to yourself
but someone acting through me
told you not to explore self

two words:
come back.
the shortest sentence stopped her
slipping through the cracks

carol

you can be mean to me
if it will make you feel better
this girl mistreating me
neither you nor i have met her

i was well on my way
to losing you to yourself
the someone acting through you
was the picture of poor health

i don’t mean to play god
but i think it was too soon
to be breathing your last breath
in that bed that afternoon

two words:
come back.
the shortest sentence couldn’t fix
what her slipping cracked
