It’s Almost Like You Love Me

I can tell 

It’s almost like you’re here for me 

Can’t you tell?!

Can’t you feel it?!

The me I’m toting

You must give me everything 

Though I don’t believe in owing 

Do it out of the kindness of your heart 

The mean in your spleen 

The attack in your back 

The emotion in your colon 

God, even the 

fun in your lungs 

Yes I’ll take anything 

from inside of you 

Eat it so it’s mine 

You have it no longer 

You do not owe me 

But I need a token for my bargain 

The people keep moving farther 

Everyone’s leases are ending 

& rents going up 

No more money I am spending 

It’s almost like you love me 

I can tell…

Maybe I’m lying to myself 

When am I not? 

Lying to myself? 

If I could buy a slot?! 

Millionaire— I’m telling you 

These are lies that I’m selling you 

None will ever compare 

Can you rearrange my world the way you do? 

One more time? 

To the left this time

You left me in no time

I’ll give up my time

I’ll love you all the time

In every cake I’ll place thyme 

As a metaphorical remind 

& another thing 

If I’m so lovable 

Why didn’t you love me ?

Why couldn’t you stay?

Why didn’t you mean anything?

Why’d you have to lie ?

& he did too!

Why’d I have to let you into my room?!

Why’d I trust you?

Why do I ever?

Why did I trust you?

Write me one last letter ?!
