Subtraction
It's a little bit like heaven
when you leave and don't come back.
you're that little bit of leaven
and you push me off the track
break the rhythm of my breathing,
slam the doors across my mind
I anticipate your leaving
don't leave anything behind
Here's your petty peeves and worries
here's your chicken and your egg,
here's your foolish fancy flurries
and the way you like to beg
for attention and distraction
'till the world is turning blue
you're my favorite
for subtraction...
take away
the me from you!
