Looking After Me

Let’s start a new life
I like this life, sort of,
And it’s me looking after me.
God cares, but He’s never horny,
And I don’t swing that way anyway.
I need to take care of me,
Today
Tonight
Tomorrow
Next week
Next month
And then Thanksgiving will suck
Christmas…
I will vanish before Christmas,
And skip the start of a new year.
Maybe I will drive away,
Go back to the edge of the sea,
To be alone without loneliness.
Back to the mountains,
Explore some places, looking for me.
Vanish for a while.
Vanish, as if I need not return.
I’ve got to prepare,
Clean out my existence from here,
Remove the traces of me
I wanted to be alone here
But strangers came, and won’t leave,
Their togetherness stinks of something
I don’t have a sense of smell,
But they reek of togetherness.
I’ve was alone without loneliness,
Until they called me a friend.
I don’t want friends screwing here,
Being so happy together,
Screwing with my solitude,
Forcing loneliness upon my life.
I need to be alone again
To have space for me alone
And space beside me, open,
Kept there specially for her
Even if she never arrives
Even if she won’t stay beside me
Just that place, just in case
