Attention Seeking

We Called It Love
I decided I was in love with you
before I knew what love was.

I walk a fine line.
Life and death.

lost together

you scream
at the

your lungs
until your
insides burn
you're alone

Sick
I'm sick
nothing to do about it
let me go home
it can't be the end of the world if I'm not there for an afternoon, can it?
I'm contagious
everyone else would get whatever the heck I have
you don't want this

Be glad that I am still here

I protect your back
