I can see you’re lonely, baby
her arms wrapped around your body
and the hunger she’s left behind your eyes
said you’d die if you let her starve,
so you gave her your bones to gnaw
and now there’s almost nothing left inside
I can see your eyes burn, baby
the way they’re bright but dead lately
from a love that wears everybody out
now you feel every time she breathes,
you’re half the man you used to be
but you don’t get to leave her in this drought
this story’s shorter than I thought
and we’re running out of pages
you gave the best of what you got,
and offered the remains relieved
I was your theme
still, it kills you to let me feed
this story’s shorter than I thought
