Weakened lonely human
Please be alike
Anything but me
Me can I be
Nothing like me

Oh you sweet and tender
You sleep on lonely sheets
Love is nothing good for shelter
So I lonely will be

Strength is but a flinching thing
I wish I could get a grip
And I wish my feet were not weak
I would like to wander for a while
Walk into your avoiding eyes
Dance in your bed
Be tangled in your sheets
And hide between
Your fingertips

Oh dear let me be
But do not let me flee
Make me crawl under your skin
And watch me smoke cigarettes
on your balcony

Let me be one
Nothing but less
Don't look at me when I am a mess
Make me nervous when you are near
But when alone I shake in fear

Get caught between my nerves and veins
Leave me outside only when it rains
Let me clean your mirror
Stare into it's core
And sit in the very corners
Of your bathroom floor
But don't you ever
Close the door
You, the one I'm frightened for
