i guess i ought to thank you,
or else apologize;
i could use a buzzfeed how-to,
so someone plz advise.
no part of me is sober, and
no part of me cares to waste your time.
when all is said and done,
it's a weight off both my shoulders,
and i'll try anything once
to alleviate the boredom;
with our limited funds,
we've no right to become hoarders--
but i want you to hang around.
yeah, i want you to hang around.
i've lowered expectations,
updated all my friends:
no noise on new relationships
(call it a ten-day cleanse).
it's some real dialectics,
holding you with both hands,
so let's let go.
