Hangers

Please make up your mind
And tell me how you really feel
I should go, I should stay
Tell me please, say it aloud

I don't like to keep guessing
The insecurity is eating me
If you can't bear that I go away
I want to stay, stay with you

Next to you, close to you
Where do you keep your heart?
Why do you hide it from me?
I can't keep up with the pace

Why did I change?
I'm losing you, I lost you
I got confused by your lies
Why do I cry only for you?

All you ever do is tempt me and tease me
Why go the distance to hurt me?
Do you not care that I bleed?
I keep dancing in your palm

All the time, in circles, in the dark
I see you're happy, I amuse you
Where does this end, why do I follow your lead?
You're mad, I'm jealous
I lack confidence

typical

Gazing outside the
horizontal slits
of the window
on the left side of my bed

I can hear the siren wailing
the busy street bustling
carbon dioxide escaping
out of my chest, slowly

Surrounded by misery
clothes scattered on the bed
books faced down
the table at maximum capacity

the door creaks eerily
air vents look suspicious
six walls in one room
two electric fans and a semi-nudist
