The Recluse

Cursive

I Wake alone, in a woman's room I hardly know.

I wake alone - and pretend that I am finally home.

The room is littered with her books and notebooks.

I Imagine what they say, like,

'Shoo fly, don't bother me."



And I can hardly get myself out of her bed,

For fear of never lying in this bed again.

Oh Christ, I'm not THAT desperate am I?

Oh no - oh God - I am.



How'd I end up here to begin with?

I don't know. Why do I start what I can't finish?

Oh, please don't barrage me witht he questions to All those ugly answers.

My ego's like my stomach

It keeps shitting what I feed it.

But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore

Maybe I can wait in bed until she comes home and

Whispers,

"You're in my web now - I've come to wrap you up Tight 'til it's time to bite down."



I wake alone in a woman's room I harldy know.

I wake alone - and pretend that I am finally home.



home.
