he crawls inside of me
and he crawls inside of you
it never seemed to affect
you the way it did me
sure
he changed you and me
in ways
unpredictable
but you had a choice
and i was following your
lead
somehow i always get
lost
perhaps that was your goal

you sleep with me
but won't acknowledge me
I have your baby
but you won't marry me
I awaken for you
but you won't for me
excuse me,
who were you again?

there are condoms in the trash
also in my pocket
who do I kid
we don't use them
so who are you seeing
because i can easily disappear
faster than you can
i know that in the morning
you won't remember that i was there
even though you came for me
in the middle of the night
you took my innocence
and are taking my sanity
and my time and patience
i watched you sleep
in innocence, i still love you
