Remember when we were kids
and "The floor is lava!"
meant something? I only ask
because I can see it
leeching into you and
I'm not sure if I'm
fixed enough to save you
without getting sucked in
         again myself.
And I swear to god right now
it's not selfish enough of me
to wonder or ask you
how broken do you have to be
         to send life?
         To spend life?
         To enjoy your freedom
         without it killing you?
Because I'm telling you
it's half past the time
it started to kill me too.
