a bitter brain

for a moment
I close my eyes
and wish you well
like a balloon
I let in the sky
that will never come down again

a bitter brain such as mine
contains no remorse
so I am sorry I have nothing
to give to you

and a running nose
I cant stop from running tho
and for a moment
I am back to black
and black and white
monotone
and envious

a bitter lung
no air
so I am empty 
with not much to breathe for
besides the winter that
haunts the house 
across the street from
where I grew up

my livers life
is shorter than my own
deadly
but I love
the admiration you give me when I smoke

hello
hello
can you hear me from the trees
from the trees
you call me
but I will never suffice 
for a perfect lover

and I blame my bitter brain
