I know he's blood
but you can still turn him away
You don't owe him anything
Do you go to the dungeon
to find out how to make peace
with your days in the dungeon
Writing a letter to you
didn't make me feel any more peaceful
than how I felt when we weren't speaking
because I didn't cop to what I did
I can't love you
'cause we're supposed to have
professional boundaries
I'd like you to be schooled and in awe
as though you were kissed by God
full on the lips
I'm in the front row
the front row with
popcorn
I get to see you
see you
close up
Slid into the ditch
I have this overwhelming loss of ambition
We said let's name thirty good reasons
why we shouldn't be together
I started by saying things like you smoke
you live in New Jersey
You started saying things like
you belong to the world
All of which could have been
easily refuted
but the conversation was hypothetical
I am totally short of breath for you
Why can't you shut your stuff off
I'm in the front row
the front row with
popcorn
I get to see you
see you
close up
For a while while I'm speaking
you know how much you hate to be interrupted
Maybe spend some time alone
Fill up your proverbial cup so
that it doesn't always have to be about you
I've been wanting your undivided attention
I like the fact that you're nothing like me
Are you not burdened by the lack of
perspective people have of
your charmed life seemingly
I'm in the front row
The front row with
popcorn
I get to see you
see you
close up
Hey I'm not mad at you guardian
I'm mad at myself for spending so much
time with you and your Jekyll and Hydeness
I'm glad I figuratively slapped you
on the wrist
You laughed a wicked laugh and said
come here let me clip your wings
I know he's blood
but you can still turn him away
You don't owe him anything
Raise the roof he yelled
Yeah raise the roof I yelled back
Unfortunately you needed a health scare
to reprioritize
No thanks to the soap box
Having me rile against them
won't make an ounce of difference
I'm in the front row
the front row with
popcorn
I get to see you
see you
close up
