I'm a mess

       I'm crippled

I'm hurting

I need to remember to take my medication

but the only thing I can think about is songs that remind me of you

I

       AM

              HURTING

and I don't know what to do

I'M

       A

              MESS

because I can't stop thinking about you

so I'll sit until this album burns out my speakers

because that's all I really ever can rely on





things

       are

different

       now

and all my transgressions feel like stupid childhood mistakes

I clench my fists

because you aren't here to stop me

the days are grayer and the nights are colder

        and my heart is harsh and unforgiving

things are

        different now

but I promise I'll still cry when I think of us kissing in the rain

my

       song

for emma, forever ago

because the emma he knows now

       is different somehow
