chairs and stools

i must learn that in another world i'd hold you

i'd have held you

you'd have held me

but we're here

on my couch made of leather

with the heating on for you and only you

and i bought all this food thinking it would

make me feel better

i can't name a thing on its own

because it competes with all the others

in another world i would've held you

in another world so many people

could've held so many people

but all i can do is pray you be happy in your own arms

i sit in a chair 

you sit in a chair

everyone wishes they didn't

everyone tries to get off

everyone has their guesses for why it's happening

nothing gets done

and i cannot hate myself

and i cannot hate the world

all i can do is miss you

and grieve

and see the needlessness

you're cute

and you're hot

and you're better than me

and i hope it stays that way

i hope it stays that way
