What Does It Say

What does it say
About me
That I have to fill my mind
And my lungs
With smoke and with debris
Just to not have chest pain
When I think of you.

What does it say
About me
That your name fills my bones
And my blood
And your absence
Is physically felt

What does it say
About me
That I can't be sober
And think of you
I feel sick to my stomach
And my heart is in my throat

What does it say
About me
That I can only stop crying
When I'm high
That I can only dull the pain
With my head in the clouds

But
More importantly
What does it say
About you?
