Patterson, New Jersey
1943
I sat on your front porch
Felt like the ghost of someone holy
Columbia college library
Found some books to read
My mother found my needles
And I felt so bad for her poor old baby
He said oh, but I love crazy
See I am just the same
Never felt like I belonged in my family
And my dad left when I was three
And I write only with purpose
Buy it now and see
I would give you explanations
But that’s way too much on me
There’s a monster in every lover
No matter how hard you try to ignore it
And pretty worlds don’t exist
No matter how far you hide under the covers
He said oh, but I’m so crazy
You and I we are the same
We need to stick together like a family
And I’ve been followed all my life
And my building looked so bony
437 East 12th street
Thought it looked so cold and frail
So I told myself to free it (x2)
So don’t, don’t, don’t, finish the ending yet
I’m not even halfway through the first chapter
There’s a lot to be said about killing yourself but not a lot about what comes after
There’s a lot to be said about killing yourself but not a lot about what comes after
He said oh, but we’re so lonely
You and I don’t need to change
Don’t you get you are my family
Can you write that down for me
