Would I Miss Not Missing You?

You put the “lie” in “believe me, darling”
But I’m devoted to my cowardice
So I’ll put the knife back in the fridge, sugar
I hope you won’t take it out
Just like that blade, aren’t you?
So cold and steady
And permanent
My spine can attest to that

You ask me if I miss you
Yet you never leave…

You have me lying on my back, spellbound
By the shadows of the fan blades
I feel their friendship on my face, it’s brisk
But this camaraderie will slowly come to a stop
You’ll make sure of that, won’t you?
Turn off my only friend
Quite a change
From all the others you turned on

You ask me if I miss you
If I say “yes” will you leave?
And if the question was “do I love you”?
And I gave a different response

I want to be blunt
But you’re too sharp
A dagger in my livelihood
That should sever this relationship
Or at least cut out the bad parts
Leave me porous
Leave me bloody
Just leave me…
