the inevitability of wrinkled bedsheets

my darling,

my darling,

i just need a little time

and a little space

to tighten the screws and bolts

that keep my head in place

my darling,

i promise you that it's not you

it's not you, it's me--

i'm trying to calm down and regain focus

i'm trying to be the person you need me to be

my darling,

i love you

(i think)

and everything is fine

i don't need a shrink

i just need time

and i'll be okay
