I wanted them to / know what it was like / to know they could never / have you. I wanted them / to know what it was / like to love you.

I like to feed / the ghosts / of my past. / They’re hungry. / They’re always / hungry. / And whatever’s / left of this / heart never / seems to be / enough to / satisfy them.

And it was ironic / how his hands / never touched me / but I can still / feel them / all / over / me.

but is it wrong / that I want to give him / anything at all?

There are a million ways / to kill someone / that leaves them / able to walk away.

I could never carry / on a conversation / on worldly or / scientific things – / but I knew you once. / I knew you then / and I like to think / I still know you now.
