And your hands are really shaking something awful
as you light your twenty-seventh cigarette.
Oh, how long have you been sitting in the darkness?
You forget.
And you know you're getting really hard to be with.
And you're crying every time you turn around.
And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up off the ground.
And they look at you like they don't speak your language,
and you're living at the bottom of a well.
And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets that you can't tell.
but you cannot bear to walk outside your door.
No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror anymore.
And your hands are really shaking something awful
as your worries crawl around inside your clothes.
Oh, how long will you be sitting in the darkness?
Heaven knows
